1899 Map of Glacier Peak

About this map

Glacier Peak dominates the high alpine landscape of this late 19th-century survey, surrounded by a complex system of ice fields including Suiattle Glacier, Honeycomb Gl, and White River Glacier. The map captures the early footprint of human presence in the Cascades, where small outposts like Mineral Park, Gilbert, and Bedal sit at the confluence of glacial rivers. These settlements, often tied to prospecting and early forestry, are linked by trails through high-altitude corridors like White Pass and Totem Pass.
