About this map

Silver Star Mountain and North Gardner Mountain anchor this high-elevation landscape in the North Cascades during the early twenty-first century. The drainage patterns are defined by Early Winters Creek, which receives flow from numerous tributaries including Silver Star Creek, Varden Creek, and Pekin Creek. This area of Okanogan County is characterized by sharp relief, where Delancy Ridge and Vasiliki Ridge separate deep-cut valleys.

Evidence of recreational use and forest access is concentrated along the northern corridor, where Lone Fir Campground and Klipchuck Campground are established. High mountain lakes, including Varden Lake, Mudhole Lake, and Shelokum Lake, are situated among the ridges. The complex network of watercourses, such as South Fork Cedar Creek and West Fork Cedar Creek, highlights the importance of this watershed for the regional ecology. This survey captures the topographical details of a wilderness environment as it appeared in 2011.
