About this map

The high mountain reaches of the Glacier Peak Wilderness define this corner of the Cascades, where the Mount Baker National Forest and Wenatchee National Forest converge. The landscape is characterized by its dramatic glacial features, including the White Chuck Glacier and the Sitkum Glacier, feeding the headwaters of the White Chuck River and North Fork Sauk River.

Remote passage through this terrain is maintained by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl, which crosses White Pass and skirts the ridges near Red Pass. The geological complexity of the area is highlighted by the White Chuck Cinder Cone and high alpine waters like Lake Byrne. This survey serves as a precise record of the ice fields and high-elevation topography within the Henry M Jackson Wilderness during the early 21st century.
