2014 Map of Winthrop

About this map

Winthrop serves as the focal point of this Methow Valley landscape, situated at the confluence of the Methow River and the Chewuch River. The 2014 survey documents a region defined by its water resources and aviation history, featuring the North Cascades Smokejumper Base and the Methow Valley State Airport. To the north and west, the terrain rises toward Patterson Mtn and Elbow Coulee, while the valley floor is dotted with numerous small lakes and ponds, including Patterson Lake, Big Twin Lake, and Moccasin Lake. Local genealogy and land use are represented by the Sullivan Cem and the expansive Winthrop National Fish Hatchery. The road network, including Wa-20, links these natural features with recreational sites like the Silverline Resort Recreational Vehicle Park on the shores of Pearrygin Lake. This map captures the modern footprint of a community deeply integrated with the Okanogan National Forest.
