About this map

The Mountain Loop Hwy serves as the primary artery through this alpine corridor, following the Sauk River and its south fork into the heart of the Cascade mountains. The settlement of Bedal sits at a critical junction near the Bedal Campground, where the drainage of Bedal Creek meets the main river valley. This landscape is defined by its recreation and early industry, evidenced by the high concentration of seasonal camps such as Mill Camp, Tyee Pool Camp, and White Deer Camp scattered along the South Fork Sauk River.

High-elevation landmarks like Mount Dickerman and Mount Forgotten tower over alpine waters, including Monte Cristo Lake and Lost Lake. Geologic and transit history converge at Barlow Pass, a vital saddle separating the Sauk and South Fork Stillaguamish River watersheds. The map also traces more remote features like Headlee Pass and the distant Ida Lake, documenting a region where logging, mining, and mountain travel have left a distinct topographical footprint.
