1965 Map of Grotto

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The South Fork Skykomish River carves through this mountain landscape, which was revised by the Forest Service in 1979 to reflect changing wilderness boundaries. Industry is visible at Grotto, where a claypit and water tank support local operations, while further south, the Cleopatra Mine and scattered quarries show the area's resource history. The map documents an era of increasing recreational use, featuring several established campsites like the Money Creek Campground and Miller River Campground. Higher elevations are dominated by deep basins and glacial lakes, including Goat Basin and Lake Kanim. A network of transport includes a major Pipeline near the river and a Pack Trail winding through the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Mountains, illustrating the contrast between valley floor utility and high-altitude conservation.
