About this map

The Cedar River Watershed (City of Seattle) and the Green River Watershed (City of Tacoma) dominate this 1989 topographic study of the High Cascades. This protected landscape, much of it contained within the Snoqualmie National Forest, is defined by a complex drainage network where the Cedar River flows north toward Chester Morse Lake, and the West Fork and Smay Creek drain the southern slopes.

High-altitude water bodies like Findley Lake and Sutton Lake are caught between prominent peaks such as Mount Gardoer and Goat Mountain. The presence of several Gaging Stations and numerous Borrow Pits and Gravel Pits along the forest roads reflects the ongoing management and maintenance of these critical municipal water sources. Notable landmarks like Rooster Comb Mountain stand as topographic anchors in an area where human activity is limited to resource infrastructure and watershed protection.
