1950 Map of Glacier Peak

About this map

The high alpine intersection of Mount Baker National Forest and Wenatchee National Forest dominates this mid-century survey, centered on the massive ice-fields of Glacier Peak. The landscape is defined by its dramatic hydrology, from the Suiattle River and Sauk River systems to the многочисленные glaciers such as Kennedy Glacier and White Chuck Glacier. Backcountry infrastructure is well-documented, featuring established stations and refuge points including the Kennedy Hot Springs Guard Station, Lyman Camp, and the Mackinaw Shelter. The inclusion of the Pacific Crest Trail weaving through high-altitude landmarks like Red Pass and White Pass provides a precise record of early-1950s mountain access. Geological interest is highlighted by features like the White Chuck Cinder Cone and Disappointment Peak, illustrating a wilderness before later wilderness area designations changed management practices.
