1969 Map of Ashnola Mtn

About this map

The Pasayten Wilderness of Okanogan County, just south of the Canadian border, is defined by its network of historical trails and high mountain basins as they existed in the late 1960s. High-altitude hydrology is the central theme of this terrain, anchored by the Hidden Lakes chain, including Big Hidden Lake, Middle Hidden Lake, and First Hidden Lake. The East Fork Pasayten River and Lost River drain the high peaks, with many tributaries like Peeve Creek and Quartz Creek flowing through narrow valleys. Human presence is marked by a complex system of pack trails, such as the Boundary Pack Trail, which provided access for forestry and back-country travel before modern road expansion. High landmarks like Ashnola Mountain and Bunker Hill overlook a landscape punctuated by remote points of interest, including a lone Shelter near Cougar Lake and the high Park Pass at the northern boundary.
