About this map

Oval Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Okanogan National Forest and Wenatchee National Forest. The 2017 survey details a network of ridges and basins defined by the Sawtooth Ridge and War Creek Ridge. This area is characterized by its significant elevation changes, ranging from the Twisp River valley in the northeast to the massive granite summits of Star Peak and Courtney Peak in the south.

Glacial features are evident throughout the terrain, including the Horseshoe Basin and a series of alpine waters such as Oval Lake, Tuckaway Lake, and Silver Lake. Historical transit through these mountains is marked by Oval Pass and Eagle Pass, which connect the drainages of Eagle Creek and Fish Creek. The map also traces the Summit Trail Wilderness, illustrating the modern management of this backcountry environment.
