2002 Map of Winthrop

About this map

Winthrop serves as the hub of the Methow Valley in this early 21st-century record, where the Methow River meets Wolf Creek. The town is surrounded by extensive protected lands, including the Methow State Wildlife Area and Okanogan National Forest, reflecting a landscape managed for both recreation and conservation. Notable infrastructure includes the Intercity Airport and the specialized North Cascades Smoke Jumper Base, critical for regional firefighting efforts. Local education and community life are anchored by the Liberty Bell High School complex and the Winthrop National Fish Hatchery. The presence of Sullivan Cem and other cemeteries provides a vital link for genealogists tracking early valley residents, while the distribution of Gravel Pits and irrigation works like the Diversion Dam illustrate the valley's ongoing reliance on its natural resources and river system.
