About this map

Agnes Mtn stands as a central peak in this high-elevation wilderness, where the complex drainage systems of Agnes Creek and its various forks define the topography. Surveyed in the late 1950s and field-checked in 1963, the landscape is characterized by its glaciated summits, including the Chickamin Glacier, Blue Glacier, and Dark Glacier. These ice fields feed numerous tributaries such as West Fork Agnes Creek and South Fork Agnes Creek, which carved the steep valleys of the Okanogan National Forest.

Human presence is marked primarily by backcountry outposts like Fivemile Camp and Cedar Camp, linked by primitive trails through the drainage basins. The boundary between Chelan and Snohomish counties runs along the western edge, traversing high ridges from Gunsight Peak to Bannock Mtn. Remote alpine features such as the Bannock Lakes and prominent landmarks like Seven Sisters provide essential orientation points for those navigating this roadless terrain.
