About this map

Ashnola Mountain and its surrounding peaks define this high-elevation landscape in the northern cascades during the early twenty-first century. The drainages of the East Fork Pasayten River and the Lost River create a complex network of valleys between prominent landmarks like Gray Mountain, Quartz Mountain, and Island Mountain. This map reveals a series of high-altitude water bodies, most notably the chain of First Hidden Lake, Middle Hidden Lake, and Big Hidden Lake to the west, and Cougar Lake near the southern border.

Transit through this challenging terrain is marked by several named crossings, including Whistler Pass, Peeve Pass, and Deception Pass. The topographic detail shows the stark relief of McCall Gulch and the high basins like Whistler Basin. Named for local fauna and geological features, points such as Sheep Mountain, Dollar Watch Mountain, and Bunker Hill provide fixed reference points for researchers studying the geographic nomenclature of Okanogan County.
