1971 Map of Chinook Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Wonderland Trail winds through this high-altitude landscape on the eastern slopes of Mount Rainier National Park, marking a transition between glacier-fed headwaters and dense old-growth forests. The map documents the convergence of high mountain passes, including Cayuse Pass and Chinook Pass, which historically served as vital corridors across the Cascades. Below the peaks of Governors Ridge and Tamanos Mtn, the drainage patterns of the Ohanapecosh River and Chinook Creek define the topography. A notable concentration of preserved natural features exists near the southern boundary, where the Grove of the Patriarchs stands near the Stevens Canyon Entrance. This area reflects the mid-century infrastructure of the park, featuring the Nickel Creek Shelter and a Lookout Tower on Shriner Peak, elements that highlight the era's focus on backcountry recreation and forest fire observation.
