About this map

Lake Chelan anchors the southwestern edge of this 2020 landscape, where the steep terrain of the North Cascades defines the drainage patterns of Prince Creek. The map documents a transition between the Wenatchee National Forest and the Okanogan National Forest, split across the high divide of Sawtooth Ridge. This high-elevation area is characterized by several small alpine basins, such as Indianhead Basin and Miners Basin, which suggest the historic prospecting and grazing use of these peaks.

Evidence of early exploration persists through features like Cascade Camp and the notable Ferry Peak. The drainage network is complex, with the North Fork, Middle Fork, and East Fork Prince Creek carving deep valleys below summits like Finney Peak and Skookum Puss Mtn. The inclusion of the Summit Trail Wilderness and Prince Creek Wilderness boundaries highlights the modern preservation of this remote interior.
