About this map

Ashnola Pass serves as a critical geographic waypoint within the high-elevation reaches of the Okanogan National Forest. This 2020 survey details a complex drainage network where the Ashnola River and Lake Creek carve through the mountain terrain near the international border at Border Ridge. The presence of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winding through the eastern and western portions of the map highlights the area's importance for long-distance navigation.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named or descriptive landmarks such as Diamond Jack, Freds Mtn, and Van Peak. The map is particularly dense with alpine water bodies, including Fawn Lake, Sheep Lake, and Corral Lake. These features, alongside named crossings like Larch Pass, illustrate the traditional travel corridors used to traverse this portion of the Cascades before modern infrastructure altered lower-elevation routes.
