About this map

Okanogan National Forest covers this high-altitude landscape, dominated by the prominent peaks of the North Cascades. The terrain is defined by a series of significant elevations including Sweetgrass Butte, Sherman Peak, and Burgett Peak, which overlook a network of alpine drainages. Water flows from the high basins via Goat Creek, Panther Cr, and Eightmile Cr, with Copper Glance Lake sitting in a northern cirque below Isabella Ridge.

Transportation through this wilderness relies on a system of forest service roads like Goat Creek RD and Upper Goat Creek RD, which follow the valley floors to reach remote access points. Notable mountain crossings such as Cub Pass, Banker Pass, and Fifth Creek Pass provide critical passage between the steep ridges. The map meticulously documents the drainage patterns of smaller tributaries like Roundup Cr and Button Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology that feeds the larger creek systems.
