About this map

Billy Goat Mtn and the surrounding high country of the Okanogan National Forest are captured here just as the Pasayten Wilderness was being formally designated. The landscape is defined by its network of steep ridges and high-altitude water bodies, including Fox Lakes, Fool Hen Lake, and the remote No Dice Lake. A complex system of pack trails and primitive jeep trails provides the only access through this terrain, connecting remote points like LO Camp and Billy Goat Corral.

Evidence of high-elevation resource extraction and land management is visible in the presence of Mines located near the headwaters of Eightmile Creek and the numerous named mountain passes. Notable landmarks such as Big Craggy Peak and the high spine of Isabella Ridge dominate the topography. The map documents a specific era of mountain use where seasonal livestock management at Corral and mining interests coexisted with the shift toward permanent wilderness preservation.
