About this map

Okanogan National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of this quadrangle, where sharp ridges and deep drainage basins define the northern Washington wilderness. The landscape is punctuated by prominent summits including Big Craggy Peak, Billy Goat Mtn, and Burch Mtn, which serve as the primary landmarks for this remote region. Glacial remnants and alpine hydrology are evident in the positioning of Upper Fox Lake, Lower Fox Lake, and the aptly named No Dice Lake.

Transit through this mountain system is dictated by natural gaps such as Three Fools Pass, Eightmile Pass, and Billy Goat Pass. These corridors have historically provided the only viable routes between drainages like Larch Creek and Eightmile Cr. For those studying land use and topography, the map reveals a network of ridges including Isabella Ridge and Eightmile Ridge that partition the various creek systems, such as Tony Cr and Copper Glance Cr, as they flow toward the lower valleys.
