2005 Map of Big Jim Mountain

About this map

Big Jim Mountain dominates the center of this high-elevation landscape within the Wenatchee National Forest. This 2005 revision highlights the complex hydrology and terrain of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, where numerous high-country basins feed water into Chiwaukum Creek and Icicle Creek. The map documents a rugged interior accessible primarily by trails, featuring several distinct alpine water bodies such as Lake Augusta, Lake Ida, and Lake Julius. The transition from the Mc Cue Ridge in the north to the Icicle Ridge in the south illustrates the sheer verticality of the Lake Wenatchee Leavenworth Ranger District. Noteworthy features like Timothy Meadow and the aptly named Badlands provide specific landmarks for those navigating these protected wilderness boundaries at the turn of the twenty-first century.
