About this map

Mount Rainier National Park dominates the landscape of this survey, where the high mountain passes of the Cascades define the transit and drainage patterns of the region. The Ohanapecosh River carves a deep valley through the center of the sheet, flanked by the Cowlitz Divide and Governor's Ridge. Higher elevations are marked by the Sarvant Glaciers and prominent summits like Tamanos Mtn and Yakima Peak.

This 2023 edition highlights a network of iconic backcountry routes, including the Wonderland Trl and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl, which navigate the steep terrain between Cayuse Pass and Chinook Pass. The map captures the wilderness character of the area, featuring remote water bodies such as Owhigh Lakes, Sheep Lake, and Tipsoo Lake. The small settlement of Cedar Flats provides a rare point of human habitation in a landscape otherwise defined by the Mount Rainier Wilderness and Snoqualmie National Forest.
