About this map

Okanogan National Forest and Mount Baker National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through some of the most remote geography in the Cascade Range. The map delineates the boundary between Whatcom and Okanogan counties, following the crest of the mountains through landmark points such as Castle Pass and Woody Pass. This area is characterized by a dense network of glacial drainage, with named waters like Three-Fools Cr and Castle Cr flowing from numerous basins.

Prominent summits including Castle Peak, Mt Winthrop, and Three Fools Peak overlook deep geological features such as the Devils Stairway and Coney Basin. The presence of high-elevation water bodies like Hopkins Lake and designated crossing points like Frosty Pass and Hopkins Pass illustrates the essential transit corridors used by hikers and forest travelers navigating this part of the Washington wilderness.
