About this map

Reynolds Peak and Williams Butte define the high ridgelines at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape where the Chelan and Okanogan county line follows the watershed divide. This 2020 survey of the North Cascades captures a wilderness managed by multiple agencies, including the Okanogan National Forest, Wenatchee National Forest, and the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area.

A network of high-country routes, including the Summit Trail Wilderness, connects remote landmarks like War Creek Pass and Purple Pass. Water is a defining element even at these elevations, from the Triplet Lakes and Deephole Spring in the interior basins to the northern tip of Lake Chelan visible at Hunts Bluff. The map documents the drainages of War Creek and Fish Creek, illustrating the steep, glaciated geography of the eastern Cascades.
