About this map

Huckleberry Mountain and the high alpine landscape of the Cascades define this 1960s survey along the border of Skagit and Snohomish counties. The Suiattle River flows through the southern valley, serving as a primary corridor for early forest management and recreation. Evidence of this administrative presence is found at the Suiattle Guard Station, while the Buck Creek Campground and East Side Buck Creek Campground mark the intersection of river access and mountain trails.

The map highlights a transition in land use as the Glacier Peak Wilderness boundary cuts across the high peaks, separating managed timber within the Mt Baker National Forest from the protected alpine lakes. High-elevation features like Lake Kawkawak, Crater Lake, and Chaval Lake are scattered among the ridges, connected by historic routes like the Huckleberry Trail. The presence of Green Mtn Pasture indicates the seasonal use of high-altitude meadows within this steep, glaciated environment.
