About this map

Colville National Forest and Chelan National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape during the early post-war period. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Granite Creek, Sheridan Creek, and Tenmile Creek that carve through significant peaks like Storm King Mtn and Sheep Mtn. Mining activity is central to the local geography near the eastern edge, where the Knob Hill Mine, Tom Thumb Mine, and Flag Hill Mine are located, complete with noted Tailings piles. These industrial footprints contrast with the remote character of the southern lakes, such as Swan Lake, Ferry Lake, and Fish Lake. The presence of a Lookout on Sheep Mtn and the small settlement of Golden along Harvest Creek suggest a region shaped by both resource extraction and forest management, offering a clear record of the area's mid-century development and land use.
