1988 Map of Swan Lake

About this map

Swan Lake and Ferry Lake serve as the central landmarks of this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Okanogan Co and Ferry Co. Situated within the overlapping reaches of the Okanogan National Forest and Colville National Forest, the terrain is defined by dramatic peaks including Sheep Mountain, Copper Mountain, and Swan Butte. The drainage network is particularly intricate here, with Golden Harvest Creek and Scatter Creek cutting through the forest toward lower elevations. This provisional survey captures the area's mid-1980s character as a managed wilderness, noting several Campground locations and a Quarry, illustrating the balance between natural resource management and back-country recreation in the Pacific Northwest.
