2002 Map of Oval Peak

About this map

Oval Peak stands as a central topographic anchor within the Lake Chelan Sawtooth Wilderness, where the high-altitude divide separates the drainages of the Okanogan National Forest and the Wenatchee National Forest. This 2002 update of a 1968 survey reveals a landscape defined by sharp alpine crests and high-mountain basins, including East Oval Lake and Middle Oval Lake. The terrain is characterized by massive features like Sawtooth Ridge and War Creek Ridge, which funnel water into the Twisp River system via War Creek and Eagle Creek. For those following historical paths, the Horseshoe Basin Trail and the presence of a Trail Camp illustrate the long-standing recreational and access networks through Eagle Pass and Fish Creek Pass. This data serves as a precise record of the administrative boundaries between Chelan and Okanogan Counties during the early 21st century.
