1991 Map of Sweetgrass Butte

About this map

Sweetgrass Butte stands as a prominent lookout point in this high-altitude section of the Okanogan National Forest as it was documented in the early 1990s. The landscape is defined by the sharp divide of Sweetgrass Ridge and Isabella Ridge, which separate various drainages including Eightmile Creek and Goat Creek. To the northwest, the Pasayten Wilderness boundary indicates a transition into strictly protected backcountry terrain, home to high-elevation features like Copper Glance Lake and Sunrise Peak. Remote infrastructure is minimal but specific, featuring the Vanderpool Crossing on Short Creek and a radio tower atop the butte. Recreation is clustered along the eastern drainages at Honeymoon Campground and Ruffed Grouse Campground, providing access for those navigating the passes such as Banker Pass and Cub Pass.
