About this map

The Canada-United States border defines the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the Ashnola River flows south through the protected reaches of the Okanogan National Forest. This 1969 field-checked survey documents a region defined by its hydrology and recreation, primarily within the Pasayten Wilderness. Evidence of backcountry habitation and transit is preserved in labels like the Barker Brown Cabin and a lone Shelter along the river banks.

A network of pack trails, including the Larch Trail and the Boundary Trail, connects remote peaks such as Two Point Mtn and Bald Mountain. The map details numerous sub-alpine water bodies, from Corral Lake in the west to Freds Mountain Lake in the east. These trails and water sources, including Spotted Ashnola Pass and the headwaters of Diamond Creek, reflect the era's focus on maintaining primitive access for forest management and wilderness travel.
