1989 Map of Big Jim Mountain

About this map

Big Jim Mountain dominates this portion of the Wenatchee National Forest, which was documented through a series of aerial photographs and field checks concluding in the late 1980s. The landscape is defined by its high-altitude hydrologic network, including alpine water bodies such as Lake Augusta, Lake Julius, Carter Lake, and Lake Ida. These lakes feed into a complex system of drainage including Chiwaukum Creek and Icicle Creek. Significant topographic landmarks like Mc Cue Ridge and Icicle Ridge frame the drainage basins. Notable interior features include Timothy Meadow and the uniquely named The Badlands near Battle Canyon. This provisional survey provides a precise look at the glacial and fluvial geomorphology before modern environmental shifts, capturing the precise locations of small tributaries like Foolhen Creek and Hatchery Creek.
