About this map

Bauerman Ridge dominates the high-country landscape along the international border between Washington State and British Columbia. This high-altitude terrain within the Okanogan National Forest is defined by its mining heritage and glacial hydrology, featuring names like Scheelite Pass and the mineral-rich locality of Tungsten. These labels point to a history of prospecting and extraction in a region where heavy minerals were once the primary driver of exploration.

Water travels through a complex network of creeks including Tungsten Cr and Basin Cr, ultimately feeding the Chewuch River in the south. The area is a significant corridor for recreation, as evidenced by the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winding through the peaks. From the southern reach at Vic Meadow to the northern boundary at Haig Mtn, the map preserves the nomenclature of early 20th-century surveyors and outdoorsmen, including distinctive landmarks like Teapot Dome and Pocket Lake.
