2014 Map of Chikamin Peak

About this map

Chikamin Peak and the surrounding high country of the Central Cascades are depicted here during the mid-2010s, showing a landscape defined by sharp ridges and numerous alpine basins. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the center of the sheet, providing a corridor through the Snoqualmie National Forest and Wenatchee National Forest. The geography is notable for its dense concentration of named water bodies, including the high-elevation Chikamin Lake, Spectacle Lake, and Alaska Lake. This survey illustrates the complex drainage patterns where Gold Creek flows through the Gold Creek Valley and Mineral Creek carves through the eastern slopes. Distinctive peaks such as Mt Thomson, Huckleberry Mtn, and the Four Brothers mark the high divide between King and Kittitas counties.
