About this map

Evergreen Mtn and its Lookout tower rise as the central focal point within the Snoqualmie National Forest, marking a landscape of significant relief in the North Cascades. The 1965 survey reveals a complex network of high-elevation peaks, from the dramatic El Capitan in the west to the southern formation of Eagle Rock. This region, split by the boundary of Snohomish County and King County, is defined by its drainage basins, where the Rapid River and Beckler River gather runoff from numerous tributaries like Bullbucker Creek and Johnson Creek.

Remote accessibility during the mid-1960s is evidenced by the presence of a Pack Trail winding along Johnson Ridge and a Jeeptrail further south. These routes provided the primary access for forest management and fire observation at sites like San Juan Hill. The survey also captures small glacial features and isolated water bodies, such as Boulder Lake tucked beneath the northern slopes of Evergreen Mountain.
