About this map

The town of Twisp sits at the confluence of the Methow River and Twisp-Carlton Road, serving as a vital hub in the high-desert landscape of the Methow Valley. This modern topographical survey highlights the town's aviation infrastructure, featuring both the Twisp Municipal Airport and the Port Field airstrip further south along the river. The valley floor is bounded by dramatic elevation changes, rising to McClure Mtn and Mt Leecher in the southern reaches of the quadrangle.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Beaver Creek Cem east of the river, while natural features like Jim Johnson Lake, Thurlow Lake, and the remote Wenner Lakes Number One indicate the diverse water resources found within the Okanogan National Forest. The map also details numerous family-named landmarks and rural routes, such as Strong Ranch Road and Finley Canyon Road, which follow the drainage patterns of Beaver Creek and Benson Creek through the rugged ridges.
