About this map

The confluence of the Chewuch River and the Methow River Valley serves as the focal point for this 1969 field-checked survey of Winthrop. This period highlights the community's infrastructure, from the Winthrop HS and Sullivan Cem to the specialized operations of the Winthrop National Fish Hatchery located south of the town center. The landscape is characterized by a high density of water features and recreational spaces, including Pearrygin Lake State Park and the Methow State Wildlife Area.

Evidence of local resource management and early aviation is clear, with a series of Gravel Pits and the Intercity Airport positioned along the valley floor. The map also documents significant upland features such as Patterson Mtn and the unique drainage of Coulee, illustrating the varied terrain of the Okanogan National Forest as it surrounds the developed river corridor and family-named landmarks like Peters Puddles and Dibble Lake.
