About this map

Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this landscape in the western Cascades, where the headwaters of several critical drainages converge. The Cedar River flows through the northern reaches, fed by high-elevation tributaries like Roaring Cr and Bear Cr, while the southern portion is defined by the Rex River and the upper branches of Smay Cr. This 2017 survey reveals the intricate network of forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 50002 and NFD 5054 Rd, which navigate the steep elevations between Mt Gardner and Goat Mtn.

A series of high-mountain basins hold isolated bodies of water, including Findley Lake, Sutton Lake, and Lake Albert. The presence of Chester Morse Lake in the northwest corner highlights the area's role in the regional watershed. This map provides a detailed view of the terrain's hydrology and the infrastructure used to manage these protected forest lands, from the N Fork Cedar River to the southern slopes of Rooster Comb Mtn.
