About this map

Eldorado Peak and the high alpine terrain of the North Cascades dominate this 2011 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by massive ice fields and steep drainage basins. The map documents the extensive reach of the McAllister Glacier, Inspiration Glacier, and Eldorado Glacier, which feed into complex creek systems like Newhalem Creek and Marble Creek.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is preserved at the Crescent Mine located near Haystack Creek. High-elevation landmarks such as Dorado Needle, The Triad, and the Hidden Lake Peaks provide essential reference points for climbers and surveyors. Lower-lying features include Stout Lake and the Wilcox Lakes, which sit at the headwaters of the East Fork Newhalem Creek, showing the intricate network of water movement through this high-altitude environment.
