About this map

Sulphur Hot Springs and the high alpine drainage of the Suiattle River define this corner of the Mount Baker National Forest during the mid-2010s. The landscape is dominated by significant peaks such as Mt Buckindy, Mt Misch, and Downey Mtn, which straddle the boundary between Skagit and Snohomish Counties. High-altitude water bodies including Bench Lake, Pilot Lake, and Horse Lake are scattered across the high country, connected by a network of steep drainages like Downey Cr and Bachelor Cr.

Human presence is centered on backcountry access and recreation. The Downey Creek Campground and Downey Trailhead serve as primary points of entry into the wilderness, while the Sixmile Shelter provides a specific point of interest for those navigating the trail systems. This map captures the region's character as a protected wilderness area where modern infrastructure is limited to fundamental trailheads and primitive shelters.
