About this map

Bauerman Ridge and the surrounding high country of the Okanogan National Forest dominate this landscape along the international border between Washington and British Columbia. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the Chewack River and tributaries like Tungsten Creek and Big Horn Creek. A high-altitude environment is evident in features such as Scheelite Lake and the nearby Scheelite Pass, suggesting geological interest or previous prospecting activity in this remote portion of the Pasayten Wilderness.

Human presence is marked primarily by infrastructure for backcountry travel and resource management. The Boundary Trail runs along the northern edge of the map, connecting with various other routes like the Pack Trail and Chewack Trail. Specific points of interest for historical researchers include Dome Camp, a designated Shelter, and a Corral near the river, reflecting the area's use by pack teams and forest rangers during the late 1960s.
