About this map

Mount Baker National Forest dominates the high-elevation landscape of this 2017 survey, where the Cascades meet the drainage basins of the South Fork Nooksack River. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and high basins, including New York Mtn, Bear Mtn, and the secluded Dailey Prairie. A complex network of watercourses, such as Cavanaugh Creek and Skookum Cr, carves through the forest, feeding into the larger river system to the south and west.

Evidence of human land management is visible in the boundary between Whatcom Co and Skagit Co crossing the southern portion of the sheet. Only a few established routes, such as Mosquito Lake Rd and Blue Mt Rd, provide access to this wilderness area, which includes significant natural features like Musto Marsh and Atherns Pond. The map provides a detailed look at the watershed and forest divisions during the early twenty-first century.
