1956 Map of Tiffany Mountain

About this map

Okanogan National Forest dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by its mining history and remote mountain passes. The town of Conconully sits at the base of the mountains, adjacent to Conconully State Park, serving as a gateway to the high country. Resource extraction is evident through numerous named sites like the Bernhardt Mine and Johnny Boy Mine, while agricultural outposts like Meyer Ranch and Reed Ranch occupy the lower elevations. High-altitude landmarks such as Tiffany Mtn and Clark Peak are connected by a network of trails and primitive roads, including the Sinlahekin Road. The presence of Woodpile Cabin and several other remote cabins highlights the area's utility for forestry and trapping during this era. This study documents a specific period in the Okanogan, where recreational campgrounds like Oriole Campground began to intermingle with active mining claims.
