1956 Map of Tiffany Mountain

About this map

Conconully serves as the gateway to this portion of the Okanogan National Forest in the mid-1950s, anchoring the southeastern corner of the quadrangle where it sits adjacent to the Conconully State Park. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Okanogan Highlands, with Tiffany Mountain and Clark Peak towering over a network of grazing meadows and creeks. Historical land use is evident in the cluster of mines near the settlement, including the Wheeler Mine and Gubser Mine. Away from the town, the wilderness is dotted with remote outposts such as Woodpile Cabin, Ryan Cabin, and Meyer Ranch. These isolated sites, connected by trails through passes like Lone Frank Pass and Pelican Pass, highlight an era when forestry, mining, and high-altitude ranching formed the backbone of the local mountain economy before modern development reached these higher elevations.
