1981 Map of Horseshoe Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The high Cascades of Okanogan Co along the Canada-United States border are defined by the glacial cirques and prominent summits of the Pasayten Wilderness. This topographic study reveals a high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Middle Fork Pasayten River gather from numerous drainages like McDaniel Creek and Geelee Creek. Human presence is marked by primitive trail networks and remote outposts such as Iron Gate Campground and Two Bear Camp, positioned near prominent landmarks like Windy Peak and Topaz Mountain. The geography is characterized by wide alpine openings including Horseshoe Basin and Little Horseshoe Basin, while local nomenclature like Hodges Horse Pasture and Goodenough Peak speaks to the early pack-stock history and livestock grazing that preceded the modern wilderness designation within the Okanogan National Forest.
