About this map

Silver Star Mountain stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation terrain within the Okanogan National Forest. This mapping of the North Cascades, based on topography compiled in 1958 and updated with 2002 imagery, illustrates a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and drainage networks. The northern portion is bisected by the North Cascades Scenic Highway Corridor Boundary, which follows the path of Early Winters Creek and Klipchuck Creek toward the Lone Fir site.

South of the highway, the topography becomes increasingly complex as several major ridges, including Delancy Ridge, Kangaroo Ridge, and Snagtooth Ridge, converge. These formations enclose numerous water bodies such as Varden Lake and Shelokum Lake, while the southern reaches transition into the protected bounds of the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness. The map provides specific detail on the varied headwaters of Cedar Creek, including its West Fork and South Fork.
