1988 Map of Tunk Mountain

About this map

Okanogan National Forest dominates this topographic study of the high country in northern Washington, centered on the prominent summit of Tunk Mountain. A key landmark for regional surveillance, the Tunk Mountain Lookout Tower stands atop the peak, overlooking a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and narrow valleys. To the northeast, the Aeneas Valley provides a lower-lying corridor containing a string of small water bodies, including Gooseberry Lake, Long Lake, and Round Lake. The map details the drainage patterns of the area, where several water sources like Patterson Creek and Peony Creek flow from the slopes of Bannon Mountain and Sneed Mountain. Scattered Gravel Pits indicate localized resource extraction, while numerous springs, such as Aeneas Spring, highlight the critical water points in this high-altitude environment.
