2017 Map of Baker Pass

About this map

Mt Baker dominates the northern landscape of this Cascades survey, where glacial features like the Metcalfe Moraine and Sulphur Moraine trace the movement of ice through the Mount Baker National Forest. A high-altitude network of trails and historic routes defines the area's human imprint, most notably the Railroad Grade and the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail which traverses Baker Pass and Schriebers Meadow. The map detail follows the Whatcom and Skagit County line southward, revealing a complex drainage system where Wanlick Cr, Rocky Cr, and Ridley Cr descend from steep ridges like Forest Divide and Sister Divide. Near the southern border, the Washington Monument landmark and the waters of Springsteen Lake sit below the heights of Dock Butte, illustrating the transition from alpine peaks to forested lake basins.
