2002 Map of Hoodoo Peak

About this map

The Okanogan National Forest dominates this early 21st-century study of the high Cascades, revealing a landscape defined by sharp ridges and alpine drainages. The Twisp River flows through the northern reaches, fed by an intricate network of waterways including Buttermilk Creek and its East and West forks. Elevation markers trace the steep rise from the river valley toward the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness boundary in the southwest. Here, high summits like Hoodoo Peak and Spirit Mountain anchor the Sawtooth Ridge, overlooking remote water bodies such as Libby Lake. The mapping reflects a period of modern forest management, highlighting recreation and conservation features like Black Pine Lake and the Shady Nook Basin. Notable landmarks such as Buttermilk Butte and Mission Peak provide fixed points for navigating this complex system of ridges, including Scaffold Ridge and Newby Ridge.
