2011 Map of Glacier Peak East

About this map

Glacier Peak serves as the focal point for this high-altitude landscape, where numerous ice fields radiate from the summit and surrounding ridges. The map documents the extensive reach of the Suiattle Glacier, Honeycomb Glacier, and White Chuck Glacier during the early 21st century. These ice masses feed a network of drainages including the Suiattle River and the White River, which flow through steep corridors such as Thunder Basin. Notable high points like Disappointment Peak, Mount Saul, and Indian Head Peak define the hydrological divides, while smaller features like Airplane Lake and Cool Glacier illustrate the varied alpine terrain. The document provides a detailed record of glacial boundaries and high-mountain water sources, tracing the origins of the Lightning Creek and Amber Creek systems as they descend from the North Cascades peaks.
