About this map

Mount Baker National Forest dominates the terrain of this quadrangle, where the steep elevations of Leonards Ridge and the high lookout at Gee Point overlook a complex network of glacial and mountain streams. The hydrology of the area is defined by the headwaters of Finney Creek and its many tributaries, including Gee Creek and Hatchery Creek, which carve deep drainage patterns through the Cascades. Isolated bodies of water like Gee Point Lake and Little Gee Lake are positioned high in the mountain basins, suggesting a landscape of high-alpine lakes and seasonal snowmelt runoff.

Road access is primarily limited to forest service routes, notably the Finney Creek Rd Snowmobile 18 Trl, which serves as a vital corridor for high-altitude recreation. The map illustrates the rugged transition between various forest sections, tracing the paths of Pressentin Creek and DeForest Creek through the dense timberland of Skagit County. This study serves as a clear record of modern forest management and hydrological features in one of Washington's most demanding mountain environments.
