About this map

Groat Mountain and Lookout Mountain anchor this late-twentieth-century study of the high-elevation terrain within the Mt Baker National Forest. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Middle Fork Nooksack River and Glacier Creek, which are fed by numerous tributaries including Cornell Creek and Wallace Creek. Industrial history is represented by a Coal Mine located near the headwaters of Coal Creek and the high passage of Coal Pass.

Recreational and natural landmarks are prominent throughout the Mt Baker Wilderness, featuring dramatic topography like The Palisades Falls and The Gorge. Evidence of land management and visitor access is seen at the Mount Baker Vista Picnic Area, while the lower slopes are marked by geological features such as Grouse Butte and Marmot Ridge. The map provides a detailed view of the ridgelines and watercourses before modern environmental changes altered these high-country paths.
