1901 Map of Glacier Peak

About this map

Glacier Peak and its surrounding ice fields dominate this high-altitude survey, which captures the complex alpine environment of the northern Cascades at the turn of the century. The map reflects a landscape defined by the intersection of four major preserves: the Washington National Forest, Chelan National Forest, Snoqualmie National Forest, and Wenatchee National Forest. This era of mapping followed the peak of mining activity in the region, noting the location of Monte Cristo and the outpost of Mineral Park along the North Fork of the Sauk River.
