2020 Map of Mount Barney

About this map

Okanogan National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of the Chewuch River and several major tributaries carve through the Cascades. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations including Mt Barney and expansive ridgelines like Preston Ridge, Black Lake Ridge, and Coleman Ridge. These formations shelter a series of alpine water bodies, most notably Black Lake, which sits at the center of a complex drainage network involving Lake Cr and Cold Cr. The map reveals a wild, roadless interior where numerous smaller basins such as Dutton Lakes, Kidney Lake, and Halfmoon Lake gather snowmelt. This 2020 survey documents the hydrological importance of the region, showing how Andrews Creek and Disaster Cr contribute to the larger river system within the protected forest boundaries.
