2011 Map of Bacon Peak

About this map

Baker Lake and the Baker River dominate the northern portion of this high-elevation mountain landscape, reflecting the drainage patterns of the North Cascades during the early 21st century. The map centers on the massive form of Bacon Peak, surrounded by a complex network of glacial-fed drainages including Noisy Creek, Diobsud Creek, and Silver Creek. The presence of the Anderson Butte Lookout and the Shannon Creek Campground indicates the area's significance for forest management and backcountry recreation. Notable clusters of high alpine water bodies, such as Watson Lakes, Anderson Lakes, and the isolated Ipsoot Lake, are interspersed among prominent summits like Mount Watson and Hagan Mountain. The road network is sparse, limited primarily to Baker Lake Rd along the western shoreline, illustrating the region's protected and primitive character.
