About this map

Oval Peak and the high ridges of the North Cascades define this landscape within the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. The high-altitude drainage systems are anchored by the Twisp River in the northeast, fed by numerous tributaries including War Creek and Eagle Creek. The map documents a complex network of alpine features and subalpine meadows, such as Buttermilk Meadow and the Horseshoe Basin, which are essential markers for backcountry navigation and high-country land management.

Outdoor recreation and wilderness access points are centered around the War Creek Campground and numerous named passes like Eagle Pass and Fish Creek Pass. Notable high-country water bodies including Tuckaway Lake, Star Lake, and the chain of Middle Oval, East Oval Lake, and West Oval Lake provide key points of interest for those studying the hydrography of the Chelan County wilderness. The topography is dominated by prominent summits such as Courtney Peak and Star Peak, marking the divide between major drainage basins.
