2014 Map of Day Lake

About this map

Mount Baker National Forest covers much of this high-elevation landscape in Skagit County, where a complex network of forest roads and drainage systems defines the terrain. The central hydrology is anchored by Day Lake, which feeds into Day Creek as it flows southward through the mountain gaps. High peaks including Iron Mtn, Coal Mtn, and the neighboring Big Deer Peak and Little Deer Peak create a sharp vertical relief that dictates the path of local corridors like NFD 17 Rd and Rocky Creek Rd. Numerous smaller tributaries, such as Cumberland Cr, Loretta Cr, and Fish Cr, carve through the timberlands, reflecting the region's importance for watershed management and forestry. This survey provides a precise record of the road system and natural boundaries within the national forest at the start of the 2010s.
