About this map

Ross Lake dominates this international border landscape, where the waters of the Skagit River are held at a spillway elevation of 1604 feet. The map captures the remote wilderness where Whatcom County meets British Columbia, defined by the high peaks of Hozomeen Mountain and Desolation Peak. These heights are home to significant fire lookout infrastructure at Desolation Lookout, accessible by the Desolation Lookout Trail.

Lower elevations near the shoreline reveal signs of back-country management and history, including the Hozomeen Ranger Station, the Hozomeen Gravel Pit, and the Stromberg Cabin near Willow Lake. The extensive network of trails like the East Bank Trail and water features such as Little Beaver Creek highlight the area's preservation within North Cascades National Park and the Ross Lake National Recreation Area.
