About this map

Baker Lake dominates the northern reaches of this high-altitude landscape, where the waters of the Baker River and several drainage creeks like Shannon Cr and Chadwick Cr converge. The terrain is defined by its protected status, split between the Mt Baker National Forest, the North Cascades National Park, and the primitive expanse of the Noisy-Diobsud Wilderness.

Elevation rises sharply from the lake to several prominent summits, including Bacon Peak, Hagan Mtn, and Mt Watson. For those researching land use and natural history in Whatcom and Skagit counties, the map preserves the exact boundaries and drainage patterns as they existed in the late 1980s. A network of high-country lakes such as Watson Lakes, Anderson Lakes, and Green Lake are captured here, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Cascades before later environmental shifts or trail adjustments.
