1969 Map of Frosty Creek

About this map

The Pasayten Wilderness spans the high terrain of Okanogan National Forest along the international boundary between British Columbia and Washington. This 1969 field survey details a high-elevation landscape defined by deep drainages like Chuchuwanteen Creek and the Pasayten River. Human presence is marked by isolated outposts such as Chuchuwanteen Cabin and Brown Bear Camp, connected only by a network of Pack Trails. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the western edge of the sheet, while alpine features like The Parks and Lake of the Pines highlight the glaciated character of the northern Cascades. A small Landing Strip near the confluence of the river's forks illustrates the necessity of aerial access for managing this remote backcountry before the modern era of wilderness preservation.
