2017 Map of Hozomeen Mountain

About this map

Ross Lake dominates the central corridor of this 2017 survey, serving as the focal point for the Ross Lake National Recreation Area and the surrounding wilderness. The map details the transition between the North Cascades National Park and the Mount Baker National Forest, illustrating a landscape of high-elevation peaks and remote drainage basins. Significant vertical relief is anchored by summits such as Hozomeen Mountain and Desolation Peak, the latter of which overlooks the lake's eastern shore. The intricate network of waterways includes Hozomeen Creek and Silver Creek, which feed into the primary reservoir. Smaller alpine features like Hozomeen Lake and Ridley Lake are tucked into the high ridges, while Cat Island and Jack Point provide navigational reference points along the water's edge. This modern cartography captures the preserved state of the Washington-British Columbia borderlands.
