2014 Map of Glacier

About this map

Glacier and the smaller settlement of Warnick serve as the primary gateways to the high-elevation wilderness within this portion of the Mount Baker National Forest. The landscape is dominated by significant peaks and ridges, including Church Mtn, Kaisoots Mtn, and the prominent Canyon Ridge. Movement through this mountain terrain follows the path of the North Fork Nooksack River, which creates a natural corridor for the Mt Baker Hwy. Along the river valley, features like Warnick Bridge and the Horseshoe Bend mark the transition from the valley floor to the steep forested slopes. Recreation and access are defined by numerous forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 31, and established sites like the Douglas Fir Campground and Canyon Creek Campground. The map illustrates a complex network of glacial and snowmelt-fed waterways, including Glacier Cr and Canyon Cr, which carve deep drainage patterns into the surrounding ridges.
