2020 Map of Tunk Mountain

About this map

Tunk Mtn and Bannon Mtn dominate the northern Okanogan high country, where the Okanogan National Forest meets the scattered settlements of Aeneas Valley. This landscape is defined by its complex network of seasonal drainages and springs, including the headwaters of Aeneas Cr and Patterson Cr. The map reveals a transition from the peaks to the flatter benches of the northeast, where several natural water bodies like Gooseberry Lake and Long Lake are situated near Aeneas Valley Rd. The human presence is traced through an extensive system of forest roads and historic routes, such as the Stage Coach Trl and Lone Pine Trl in the south, indicating a long history of travel through these mountain passes. Local place names like Jacks Pass and Snowbunny Ridge Dr suggest a land utilized for both timber management and recreation in the early twenty-first century.
