About this map

Okanogan National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the late 1980s, centered on the prominent massif of Tiffany Mtn. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage basins and sub-alpine meadows, such as North Twentymile Meadows and South Twentymile Meadows to the northwest, which feed into the Smarty Creek system. Human activity is concentrated along established recreational and resource extraction corridors, notably the Tiffany Spring Campground and a scattered history of mineral interest evidenced by the Bernhardt Mine and a Quarry near Three Buttes.

A sophisticated trail network, including the Tiffany Trail and Twentymile Trail, connects significant landmarks like Whistler Pass and Honeymoon Pass. These paths offer a glimpse into the land management of the era, where high-elevation water sources like Little Tiffany Lake and Roger Lake served as vital nodes for backcountry travel and forest administration. The map clearly delineates the divide between the North Fork Salmon Creek and the Sinlahekin Creek watersheds, illustrating the complex hydrology of this part of the Cascades.
