About this map

Barron stands as a focal point of settlement history in this high-altitude landscape where the Okanogan National Forest meets the Mount Baker National Forest. The geography is defined by significant drainage systems including the W Fork Pasayten and the Middle Fork Pasayten River, which carve through a terrain marked by prominent landmarks like Pasayten Peak and Tamarack Peak.

Long-distance transport is represented by the intersection of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, tracing routes through high-elevation gaps such as Holman Pass and Foggy Pass. This 2017 survey details a network of ridges and basins, including Buckskin Ridge and Indiana Basin, providing a precise record of the alpine environment and the remote routes that traverse the Okanogan and Whatcom County line.
