About this map

The Okanogan National Forest covers this landscape, centered on the high divide of Thompson Ridge. This 2014 survey documents the complex drainage systems of the Cascade foothills, where the Twisp River cuts through the southern reaches and Wolf Cr flows through the north. The protected Wolf Creek Research Natural Area occupies the northeastern slopes of Virginian Ridge, preserving a specific ecological niche within the forest.

A network of Forest Service routes, including Nat For Dev Rd 4415 and Nat For Dev Rd 200, provides access to these elevations and namesakes like Gobblers Knob. The map also captures the transition from wilderness into the residential outskirts of the Methow Valley, where named roads like Wolf Creek Rd and Cottonwood Dr emerge along the eastern border. This layout illustrates the intersection of public land management and the rural development patterns characteristic of the region.
