1988 Map of Gamma Peak

About this map

Gamma Peak and the surrounding high country of the Glacier Peak Wilderness are defined by a network of massive ice fields and steep drainage basins. Glacial systems including the Ptarmigan Glacier, Ermine Glacier, and N Guardian Glacier feed into remote watercourses like Dusty Creek and Chocolate Creek, illustrating the raw hydrological patterns of the North Cascades. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through this terrain, connecting hikers to significant landmarks such as Gamma Hot Springs and the Lookout Tower positioned along the ridges. Within the Mt Baker National Forest, the map also details high-altitude features like Image Lake and Totem Pass, providing an essential record of the region’s topography and wilderness boundaries during the late twentieth century.
