About this map

Okanogan National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape along the international border between Washington and Canada. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits including Windy Peak, Arnold Peak, and Goodenough Peak, creating a high-relief environment where the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail traverses the northern reaches. This 2020 survey illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the region, where Horseshoe Cr and Clutch Creek flow through deep basins.

Local landmarks such as Hodges Horse Pasture and Deer Park suggest a history of seasonal high-country use, while Pick Pocket and Pick Peak denote specific points of interest for navigation. The proximity to the border is highlighted by the survey lines of t40n r23e and the adjacent t40n r24e, showing the transition between federal forest lands and the international boundary. Water features like Louden Lake and Smith Lake provide clear markers within the Horseshoe Basin drainage system.
