2011 Map of Gray Wolf Lake

About this map

Gray Wolf Peak stands as a prominent sentinel over a landscape defined by high-elevation water bodies and complex drainage patterns in the Mission Mountains. This 2011 survey reveals a glacial topography where small, named basins like The Angels Bathing Pool and Seepela Lake are tucked between sharp ridges. The Swan River and Glacier Creek serve as primary arteries for the region's hydrology, while names like Daughter of the Sun Mountain and Sugarloaf Mountain anchor the significant vertical relief. The map illustrates a network of connectivity through natural gaps such as Goat Pass and the evocatively named Pass of the Winds, which facilitate movement through the high-country terrain between the Swan River valley and the peaks to the west.
