About this map

The Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the jagged spine of Sawtooth Ridge divides the Okanogan National Forest from the Wenatchee National Forest. This survey details an intricate network of backcountry trails that connect subalpine basins and glacial cirques, including the Angel Staircase Trl and Summit Trail. The terrain is characterized by steep elevation changes between prominent summits like Martin Peak and Mt Bigelow, interspersed with clusters of high-mountain lakes.

Water features are central to the geography here, with Foggy Dew Falls and Cooney Lake serving as significant landmarks along the established trail systems. The map illustrates how drainage systems like Foggy Dew Creek and Crater Creek have carved out deep valleys such as Merchants Basin and Horsethief Basin. For those interested in the topography of the North Cascades, these labels provide a clear picture of the region's wilderness management and recreational infrastructure.
