2023 Map of Glaciate Butte

About this map

Glaciate Butte rises as the central landmark in this high-altitude landscape of Yakima County, where the alpine terrain is carved by the Muddy Fork and Clearwater Creek. The area is defined by its status as protected land, split between the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and the Mount Adams Wilderness. The presence of Foggy Flat and the eponymous Two Lakes in the northern reaches suggests a glacially influenced topography typical of the Cascades. Transportation in this remote environment is limited to unpaved forestry and bureau routes like Mount Adams Lake Rd and Bia RD 108, alongside recreational paths such as the Highline Trl. The map illustrates the headwaters of numerous drainages, including Trappers Creek and Little Muddy Creek, which feed the regional watershed.
