Analyzing topographic low points and ridge geometry across the Cascade Range and surrounding highlands

Catalog of Named Saddle Landforms in the Okanogan–Wenatchee National Forest Region

The Okanogan–Wenatchee National Forest encompasses complex mountain systems where ridges are punctuated by distinct saddles. These topographic low points between higher summits define the internal architecture of the Cascade Range and the Okanogan highlands. Comparing the elevation and placement of these landforms provides essential context for understanding the broader drainage patterns and the structural transition from glaciated alpine peaks to arid steppe landscapes.
