About this map

Mount Baker National Forest and the Mount Baker Wilderness dominate this high-elevation landscape in Whatcom County. The terrain is defined by dramatic ridgelines and glacial features, including the Coleman Glacier descending from the east. Central to the map is Groat Mtn, flanked by the Marmor Ridge and Grouse Ridge. The drainage pattern is complex, with Glacier Creek and its many tributaries like Falls Creek and Coal Creek carving through the steep topography.

Transportation in this area is limited to specialized routes such as the Glacier Creek Snowmobile 39-Trl and the Heliotrope Ridge Trl. Notable landmarks like The Palisades and The Gorge indicate a landscape of sheer verticality. For those interested in the natural history of the Cascades, the map details many smaller watercourses including Warm Creek and Sister Creek, alongside high-country points like Grouse Butte and Lookout Mtn.
