2023 Map of Green Mountain

About this map

The high alpine country of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest defines this landscape, where the Mount Adams Wilderness meets the volcanic slopes of the South Cascades. This modern survey illustrates a network of recreation and water resources, centered on prominent high-elevation landmarks like Green Mountain and Hamilton Buttes. Glacial melt and seasonal runoff feed a complex system of drainage, with the Lewis River and Cispus River serving as primary corridors for the region's hydrology. Several distinctive alpine lakes, including Takhlakh Lake, Olallie Lake, and Green Mountain Lake, are hubs for the local trail system. The map documents an extensive transportation network for hikers and mountaineers, featuring the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it traverses near Muddy Meadows and Takh Takh Meadow, illustrating how established pathways navigate the high-country terrain between Skamania and Yakima counties.
