About this map

Kennedy Hot Spring and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail anchor this 1988 survey of the Cascades, where the Snohomish and Chelan county line traverses high alpine terrain. This area is defined by the convergence of the Glacier Peak Wilderness, Henry M Jackson Wilderness, and the Mt Baker National Forest. The landscape is a network of glacial activity and volcanic geology, evidenced by the White Chuck Cinder Cone and numerous ice fields including the Sitkum Glacier and Scimitar Glacier.

High-altitude landmarks such as Skullcap Peak and Portal Peak stand above deep river valleys carved by the White Chuck River and the North Fork Sauk River. Hikers and researchers can trace the route to Mackinaw Shelter or locate remote water bodies like Hardtack Lake and Lake Byrne. The map serves as a primary record of the trail systems and drainage patterns before modern changes in glacial extent.
