About this map

American Border Peak and Mount Larrabee dominate the northern crest of this terrain, marking the boundary where the Cascades meet the international border. The landscape is defined by its verticality, with high-elevation waypoints like High Pass and Low Pass connecting the drainage basins of Tomyhoi Creek and Winchester Creek. This area was historically shaped by small-scale mineral exploration, evidenced by the presence of the Red Mountain Mine, Gargett Mine, and Silvertip Mine tucked into the high ridges.

In the southern valley, the settlement of Shuksan serves as a hub near the confluence where Anderson Creek and Ruth Creek meet the North Fork Nooksack River. Recreation and forest management are central to the area's modern identity, shown through the Shuksan Campground and Silver Fir Campground, along with fire-watch infrastructure like the Winchester Mountain Lookout and Goat Mountain Lookout. The map traces a network of Forest Service roads, including 3070 and 3065, providing access to remote alpine waters such as Tomyhoi Lake and Twin Lakes.
