About this map

Twisp sits at the northeastern edge of this mountainous terrain, where the Twisp River meets a network of local roads including Twisp River Rd and Poorman Creek Rd. The landscape is dominated by the steep drainages and high elevations of the Okanogan National Forest, defined by prominent features such as Lookout Mtn and the long stretch of Lookout Ridge.

Canyons and draws provide the primary geographic structure throughout the quadrangle, from Elbow Canyon in the north to Ederberry Canyon and Smith Canyon in the south. The complex topography is carved by numerous seasonal and perennial watercourses like Poorman Cr, Libby Cr, and the S Fork Booth Canyon Cr. This survey illustrates the intricate balance between the small-scale development around the townsite and the expansive, protected forest land that characterizes this portion of Okanogan County.
