About this map

Hurley Peak and Chopaka Mtn dominate the northern crest of this high-altitude landscape, where the international boundary separates the United States and Canada. This 2017 survey shows the high-country divide within the Okanogan National Forest, a terrain of steep drainages and named summits like Joe Mills Mtn and Goodenough Peak. The drainage network is complex, feeding into the N Fork Toats Coulee Cr and the S Fork Toats Coulee Cr, which carve deep valleys across the quadrangle. High meadows and points of interest such as Snowshoe Meadow and the ominous Hells Hole suggest a land of isolation and seasonal activity.

Outdoor recreation and legacy trails are prominent, specifically the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which traverses the center of the sheet. Points like Albert Camp and the aptly named Disappointment point toward the historical movement of foresters and hikers through these upper elevations. The map provides a detailed look at the hydrology of the Okanogan highlands, with numerous tributaries such as Twelvemile Cr and Anderson Cr flowing from the mountain flanks.
