About this map

Horseshoe Basin sits along the international border between Washington and British Columbia, dominated by high-altitude peaks and glacial cirques within the Okanogan National Forest. This high-country landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including Horseshoe Creek and the Middle Fork Toats Coulee Creek, which flow through steep topography anchored by Pick Peak and the prominent Windy Peak.

Tracing the northern edge of the map, the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail traverses the crest near Arnold Peak and Louden Lake, providing a specific corridor for early trans-boundary exploration and modern recreation. High-altitude meadows and camps like Albert Camp and Deer Park signify a history of seasonal use, while landmarks such as Hodges Horse Pasture point to the region's legacy of grazing and horse-packing through Horseshoe Pass.
