1969 Map of Lost Peak

About this map

Okanogan National Forest and the Pasayten Wilderness define this high country landscape as it appeared in the late 1960s. The map captures a transition between the rugged topography of peaks like Lost Peak and Nanny Goat Mtn and the deep drainage of the Lost River Gorge. Human presence in this protected backcountry is marked primarily by seasonal shelters and primitive access routes, including Clints Cabin and the riverside Hoot Owl Camp. High-elevation water features such as Johnny Lakes and Rampart Lake are positioned along steep ridges, indicating a terrain where travel was dictated by the Monument Creek Trail and other historic pack routes. The placement of Many Trails Peak and the Three Pinnacles suggests a complex network of high-country waypoints for early forest rangers and wilderness travelers.
