About this map

Billy Goat Mtn and the high ridges of the Pasayten Wilderness define this corner of the Okanogan National Forest. This 2023 survey documents a vertical landscape where steep drainages like Fool Hen Creek and Eightmile Creek descend from prominent summits such as Big Craggy Peak and West Craggy. The terrain is interconnected by a network of established paths, including the Billy Goat Trl and Larch Creek Trl, which provide access to remote high-altitude water bodies like No Dice Lake and the Upper Fox Lake and Lower Fox Lake pair.

Mountain passes such as Three Fools Pass and Eightmile Pass serve as the primary conduits through the divide. The presence of several distinct peaks, including Burch Mtn and Obstruction Peak, reflects a geography shaped by severe elevation changes. This map captures the modern inventory of federal wilderness land, showing how named ridges like Isabella Ridge and Eightmile Ridge Trl structure the northern Cascades backcountry.
