2011 Map of Davis Peak

About this map

Cle Elum River and the Waptus River converge in this high-altitude landscape of the Washington Cascades, which serves as a significant intersection of water and mountain terrain. Historically oriented around mining and fire prevention, the area features the high-elevation Elsnor Mine and strategically placed fire stations like Davis Peak Lookout and Jolly Mountain Lookout. The river system is a central organizing force, with the West Fork Teanaway River and Salmon la Sac Creek carving deep drainages between Goat Mountain and Huckleberry Mountain. In the valley floors, the presence of Salmon la Sac Campground, Cayuse Campground, and Hour Creek Campground indicates the established recreational use of these public lands. Small alpine basins hold numerous water bodies including Moonshine Lake, Michael Lake, and Lake Terence, while local landmarks like China Point rise above the complex network of forest roads and trails.
