About this map

Okanogan National Forest covers this high-elevation landscape in the North Cascades, where glacial carved valleys and steep ridgelines define the watershed. The Twisp River flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries like Reynolds Cr and Williams Cr. In the northern reaches, Gardner Meadows sits near the headwaters of Wolf Cr, providing a rare pocket of level terrain amidst the sharp peaks of Abernathy Ridge and Milton Mtn.

High-country lakes like Slate Lake and Little Slate Lake are found tucked into the cirques below Midnight Mtn. The map traces a complex network of drainages including Little Bridge Cr and Canyon Cr, illustrating the vital hydrological role this region plays for the surrounding Okanogan valley. This 2020 survey documents the modern state of these protected lands, from the named summits like Three A M Mtn to the riparian flats of Poplar Flats.
