2011 Map of Big Jim Mountain

About this map

Big Jim Mountain dominates this high-altitude landscape in Chelan County, where the hydrological patterns of the Wenatchee National Forest are mapped in precise detail. The area is defined by a dense network of alpine drainage systems, with Chiwaukum Creek and Roaring Creek carving through the steep topography of Mccue Ridge. This 2011 survey captures the layout of numerous alpine water bodies, including the secluded Lake Augusta, Carter Lake, and the small Big Jim Mountain Lakes. The presence of features like Timothy Meadow and the starkly named The Badlands suggests a varied terrain of subalpine openings and exposed rocky outcrops. Researchers will find a pristine representation of the backcountry, focusing on the natural landmarks used for navigation and resource management in this portion of the Cascades.
