2002 Map of Azurite Peak

About this map

Azurite Mine, North American Mine, and the Gold Hill Mine are scattered across this high-elevation landscape, marking a history of extraction within what is now the Mt Baker - Snoqualmie National Forest. The map captures the rugged intersection of the Pasayten Wilderness and the North Cascades, where high peaks like Azurite Peak and Mount Ballard dominate the drainage basins of Devils Creek and Slate Creek. The absence of heavy infrastructure, save for the Scenic Highway Corridor in the south and the remote Fourmile Camp, underscores the area's role as a protected wilderness. Historical access points such as Cady Pass and Mabee Pass highlight the traditional routes used by prospectors and travelers to navigate the crests between Whatcom and Skagit counties.
