About this map

Jackita Ridge and Shull Mountain dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Okanogan and Whatcom counties. This 2017 survey details the complex alpine topography shared between the Okanogan National Forest and Mount Baker National Forest. The region is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, from the depths of Hells Basin to high crossings at Rock Pass and Sky Pilot Pass.

Logistics and travel through this wilderness are primarily captured through the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which winds past Devils Pass and Deception Pass. Drainage networks are clearly delineated, showing Shull Creek flowing from Shull Lake and the descent of Canyon Creek. The presence of the Chancellor trail route and landmarks like Devils Park provide essential reference points for those studying the recreational and administrative history of the North Cascades.
