About this map

Grass Mountain dominates this portion of the Snoqualmie National Forest, forming a high divide within the protected Green River Watershed. The landscape is defined by the sharp convergence of glacial and volcanic drainage systems along the border of King and Pierce counties. To the south, the White River flows toward Mud Mountain Lake, joined by the Clearwater River and several smaller tributaries like Cyclone Creek and Clay Creek.

Industrial activity in this mid-1980s period is evidenced by a high-voltage transmission line cutting across the southwestern slopes and scattered resource extraction sites, including a Quarry and a Borrow Pit. The presence of small, isolated water bodies such as Beaverdam Lake, Stink Lake, and Lynn Lake suggests the uneven, glaciated terrain of the Cascades. These features, along with the numerous creeks like Charley Creek and Scatter Creek, illustrate a complex hydrological network vital to the region's water management and forest ecology.
