About this map

The mountain settlement of Barron serves as a key reference point at the southern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the crest between the Okanogan National Forest and Mount Baker National Forest. This 2014 survey documents a complex network of high-elevation passes and drainage basins, including Indiana Basin and Oregon Basin, situated beneath prominent landmarks like Devils Backbone and Pasayten Peak.

The hydrology of the region is defined by the headwaters of the W Fork Pasayten River and the Middle Fork Pasayten River, which carve through deep valleys punctuated by Holman Campground and Lid Kay Camp. Numerous peaks such as Tamarack Peak and Holman Peak overlook alpine water bodies like Silver Lake and Goat Lakes, illustrating the high-country topography that characterizes the boundary between Whatcom and Okanogan counties.
