About this map

Okanogan National Forest and the Pasayten Wilderness dominate this high-altitude survey of northern Washington. The landscape is defined by the steep descent of the Lost River through a prominent Gorge and its intersection with high-country landmarks like Lost Peak and Many Trails Peak. The human footprint in this wilderness is limited to essential shelters and camps such as Clints Cabin and Hoot Owl Camp, connected by a network of steep routes including the Monument Creek Trail.

Glacial topography is evident in the cluster of high-elevation water bodies like Johnny Lakes, Rampart Lake, and the secluded Lake of the Woods. The terrain features several notable passes, including Lucky Pass and Pistol Pass, which provide passage through the jagged formations of Rampart Ridge and the Three Pinnacles. This map captures the area as it was formally managed just after the establishment of the wilderness area in the late 1960s.
