2023 Map of Day Lake

About this map

Day Lake sits at the heart of this landscape, fed by Fish Creek and giving rise to Day Creek as it flows north toward the Skagit valley. This 2023 survey of the Mount Baker National Forest captures a transition from the drainage basins of Cumberland Creek in the northwest to the high ridges of the interior. The terrain is defined by significant elevations such as Iron Mtn and Coal Mtn, reflecting the mineral-rich history implied by their names. Modern recreational and industrial access is traced via the Finney Creek Rd Snowmobile 18 Trl and Rocky Creek Rd. The map also details the complex hydrology of the region, including the headwaters of Little Deer Creek near the summits of Little Deer Peak and Big Deer Peak.
