Much of the checkerboard here and to the SW has been aquired by the USFS.

To my understanding, Phase 1 and 2 are complete as of this spring.

It sounds like all these trails were added to this private land based solely on Strava.

I can find no reference to any legal trails here. I will eventually visit the area but to my understanding these never should have been mapped.

On public land in the region, I keep finding made up trails, the mappers even give them random names based on a geographic feature. It is big issue in the area and lot of ground truthing to rectify.

new orchard to map, I drove public road and fixed routing

private land in area, forest boundary needs editing

I improved roads mapping after driving through area. These are not county roads but gates were open. I did not investigate more to avoid accidentally tresspassing.

The inholdings in this wildlife area are BLM. There is a lot of BLM land and Wildlife area boundaries to confirm to the NE up to the border. Maybe an import of all Okanogan County BLM land as natural area preserves is needed. I am focused on road mapping in this area, ownership updates are currently beyond my capabilities.

boundaries of Wildlife Area, DNR, and BLM have errors along many portions of the perimeter. I have not yet figured out how to use parcel data as a reference in order to correct the errors.

Trails are closing in 2026 with future decommissioning and on other trails reroutes have occured. When possible, mapping will be needed.
