About this map

Chester Morse Lake dominates the southern portion of this landscape, its waters held back by the Crib Dam and fed by numerous tributaries including McClellan Creek and Rack Creek. In the north, the valley of the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River hosts established communities such as Riverbend, Tanner, and Sallal Prairie. This 2011 survey records a network of mountain roads and legacy infrastructure within the Snoqualmie corridor, including the North Bend Airstrip and the educational facility at Camp Waskowitz.

Transitioning from the river valley to the higher peaks, the map details the ascent toward Mount Washington and McClellan Butte. The corridor between the river and the lake is marked by the Iron Horse Trl, following the path of former rail operations through small settlements like Ragnar and Garcia. Evidence of historical industry persists in the northeast corner at the Horseshoe Mine, situated beneath Grouse Ridge.
