1944 Map of Holden

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Holden Mine serves as the industrial hub for this high-altitude landscape within the Chelan National Forest, where mining operations once drove development in the upper Railroad Creek drainage. The settlement of Holden sits near the mine, adjacent to a designated Recreational Area, while further south the small community of Trinity marks the confluence of high mountain trails and alpine rivers. This survey, based on 1944 aerial photography, documents a complex network of glacial activity and jagged ridgelines, featuring the massive Bonanza Peak and the sprawling Entiat Glacier. Strategic passes like Suiattle Pass and Cloudy Pass connect isolated basins, while the Crest Trail snakes through the western portion of the quadrangle. The map captures the era of industrial extraction alongside early forest management, showing the proximity of the Glacier Peak Mines to the boundary of the Mt Baker National Forest.
