About this map

Baker Lake dominates the northwest corner of this terrain, where the waters are fed by the glacial runoff of Shannon Creek and Chadwick Creek. The landscape is a complex meeting point of administrative boundaries, as the North Cascades National Park and the Mt Baker Snoqualmie National Forest converge near high summits like Bacon Peak and Hagan Mountain. Much of the central area is preserved within the Noisy Diobsud Wilderness, a name derived from the prominent drainages of Noisy Creek and Diobsud Creek.

High-altitude water bodies such as the Watson Lakes and Anderson Lakes sit tucked beneath the ridges of Mount Watson and Anderson Butte. The presence of a Boat Ramp at the edge of the large lake indicates the recreational utility of this area in the late twentieth century, even as the majority of the map reflects a landscape defined by natural drainages and steep vertical relief at the Whatcom Co Skagit Co line.
