About this map

Okanogan National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Pasayten River system begin their descent. The terrain is characterized by massive crests like Buckskin Ridge and Holdover Ridge, and prominent summits including Smoky Mtn and Soda Peak. Water is a defining element of the geography, from the alpine stillness of Heather Lake and Frosty Lake to the drainage networks of Rock Creek and Chuchuwanteen Cr.

Human presence is represented by the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which winds through the central valley of Frosty Creek. Remote surveyors' points like Monument 83 along the boundary and the named area known as The Parks suggest a wilderness utilized for back-country exploration and resource management. The map also identifies smaller water bodies like Lake of the Pines and Dead Lake, providing a specific guide for those tracking the drainage patterns of the Washington high country.
