About this map

Mount Barney rises as a prominent landmark in this high-elevation landscape of Okanogan County, characterized by a complex network of glacial lakes and steep drainage basins. The area's hydrology is defined by the Chewuch River in the southeast corner, which collects waters from a vast system of tributaries including Lake Creek, Farewell Creek, and Disaster Creek. Historical access points for packers and backcountry travelers are anchored by the Lake Creek Trailhead and Farewell Creek Trailhead, providing entry into a terrain marked by distinctive features like Black Lake Ridge and Preston Ridge.

A string of mountain tarns—including Black Lake, Halfmoon Lake, Kidney Lake, and Crystal Lake—illustrates the region's geological character. To the north, Dutton Lakes and Dutton Creek flow near the high crest of the ridge. The map provides a clear look at the trail systems and drainage patterns that have shaped movement through these highlands long before modern survey standards were applied.
