2020 Map of Swan Lake

About this map

Okanogan National Forest and Colville National Forest meet in this high-elevation landscape along the border of Okanogan and Ferry Counties. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks such as Sheep Mtn, Copper Mtn, and Swan Butte, which overlook a network of alpine waters including Swan Lake, Ferry Lake, and Long Lake. The Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, crossing Scatter Creek and climbing toward the ridges. This modern survey illustrates the remote character of the region, where access is limited to thoroughfares like Old Swan Lake Road and the Gaffney route. The drainage patterns of Golden Harvest Creek and Tenmile Creek highlight the watershed's complexity, providing a detailed reference for those studying the geography of the northern Cascades.
