2014 Map of Grotto

About this map

Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, where the settlement of Grotto sits at the northern edge along the Stevens Pass Hwy. This area serves as a critical transportation corridor through the Cascades, featuring the Tunnel on US 2 and the Cascade Stevens Highway Bridge crossing the South Fork Skykomish River. The map documents a network of high-altitude alpine lakes, including Crystal Lake, Coney Lake, and Bear Lakes, clustered around peaks like Palmer Mtn and Lennox Mtn. Recreation is a primary focus of the surveyed land, indicated by several established sites such as the Money Creek Campground and Miller River Campground. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by the W Fork Miller River and East Fork Miller River, which carve deep valleys through the rugged terrain of the t26n r11e township.
