About this map

Baring sits at the base of dramatic vertical relief where the South Fork Skykomish River cuts through the Cascades. This 2014 survey captures a landscape defined by sharp peaks and high-elevation basins within the Snoqualmie National Forest. The map documents a dense network of water features, from the North Fork Skykomish River in the north to isolated alpine waters like Tom Dick and Harry Lakes and Barclay Lake.

Major summits such as Baring Mtn, Gunn Peak, and Merchant Peak dominate the topography, illustrating the challenging terrain that early foresters and surveyors navigated. The distribution of named features like Paradise Meadow and Jumpoff Ridge suggests a history of localized naming conventions used by hikers and mountaineers, while roads like NE Index Creek Rd provide the primary access points to the river valleys.
