About this map

Deming Glacier and Easton Glacier dominate the northern landscape of this 1980s survey, marking a terrain defined by ice and volcanic geology. The map documents a complex system of glacial features including the Metcalfe Moraine and Sulphur Moraine, which feed the headwaters of the Middle Fork Nooksack River. A prominent Lookout Tower sits atop Park Butte, overlooking the high-altitude transit of Baker Pass and the distinctive Railroad Grade trail. Further south, the terrain transitions into the heavily forested slopes of Mt Baker National Forest, where features like Schriebers Meadow and Loomis Mtn stand near the boundary line between Whatcom and Skagit counties. The survey also identifies isolated landmarks such as the Washington Monument and Dock Butte, reflecting the nomenclature of late-20th-century wilderness management.
