About this map

Captain Point rises as a central landmark in this high-elevation landscape where the boundaries of King, Snohomish, and Chelan counties converge. The 2014 survey documents a wilderness dominated by the Wenatchee National Forest and Snoqualmie National Forest, defined by steep drainages and numerous glacial tarns. The Rapid River and its North Fork carve through the center of the sheet, fed by alpine water bodies including Scrabble Lake, Grizzly Lake, and the remote Peach Lake.

Outdoor heritage and trail history are anchored by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which winds along the eastern ridgelines near Grizzly Peak. Significant summits like Valhalla Mtn, Sunrise Mtn, and Mt Fernow overlook specialized features such as the Mount Fernow Potholes. This map records the modern state of the Cascades' protected lands, showing the intricate network of peaks and creek basins such as Meadow Cr and Evergreen Cr before shifting environmental patterns or forest management changes further alter the backcountry.
