1965 Map of Baring
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The South Fork Skykomish River carves a deep path through this portion of the Snoqualmie National Forest in the mid-1960s, dictating the narrow corridor for human activity. Along the river valley, the small settlements of Baring and Index sit positioned for the Great Northern railroad and the regional pipeline. This survey illustrates the transition from industrial extraction to mountain recreation, with the Sunset Mine and a Quarry tucked into the steep slopes of the North Fork Skykomish River, while a network of Pack Trails and Foot Trails leads hikers toward Barclay Lake and the dramatic face of Baring Mountain. The map also traces the county line between Snohomish Co and King Co, which splits the high-altitude terrain near Merchant Peak and Eagle Lake.
