About this map

Mt Barney stands as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape within the Pasayten Wilderness and Okanogan National Forest. The map documents a complex drainage system where Black Lake and Dutton Lakes feed into various creeks including Andrews Creek, Disaster Creek, and Farewell Creek. This area, surveyed in the late 1960s, reveals the specialized infrastructure required for wilderness management, such as the Heliport and Gaging Station located along the water routes.

Evidence of human movement through the steep terrain is marked by a network of primitive routes, labeled simply as Pack Trail. These paths connect remote points like the Corral and Campground near the Chewack River, illustrating the era's reliance on traditional transport methods for backcountry access and forest service operations. The high-elevation hydrology is further characterized by numerous smaller basins including Halfmoon Lake, Kidney Lake, and Crystal Lake.
