About this map

The South Fork Snoqualmie River carves a deep valley through this high-elevation portion of the Snoqualmie National Forest, defining the primary transportation corridor for both rail and road. The small settlements of Bandera and Garcia sit along this corridor, where the Bandera State Airport serves as a distinct landing strip amidst the steep slopes.

Glacial activity has left behind a dense network of alpine water bodies, from the larger Mason Lake and Pratt Lake to secluded basins like Island Lakes and Lake Kulla Kulla. These waters are sheltered by prominent peaks including Bandera Mtn, McClellan Butte, and Russian Butte. The landscape is etched with forest service routes like Tinkham Rd and NFD 9030 Rd, providing access to the high backcountry of the Pratt River drainage and the surrounding mountain summits.
