2017 Map of Tatoosh Buttes OE N

About this map

The international border marks the southern edge of this map, delineating the line of Canada/United States of America. This 2017 study focuses on a highly remote and high-altitude landscape within the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen of British Columbia. The terrain is defined by a dense network of high-elevation drainages and steep ridges that feed into the larger river systems of Manning Park. Because the map area is largely devoid of human settlements or named structures, it serves as a primary record of the natural hydrography and topography of the Cascades as they cross into Canada. The lack of road infrastructure or named landmarks within the quadrangle emphasizes the wilderness character of this specific portion of the borderlands, where natural geographic features remain the primary markers of the landscape.
