2020 Map of Illabot Peaks

About this map

The Mount Baker National Forest dominates this Skagit County landscape, centered on the high elevations of the Illabot Peaks. The terrain is defined by the protected waters of the Skagit Wild and Scenic River and its tributary, the Illabot Wild and Scenic River, which carve through the steep topography. Settlement is nearly non-existent here, with only the Rockport Cascade Rd skirting the northern boundary, reflecting the area's preservation as a wilderness corridor. Dozens of remote alpine lakes are tucked into the high ridges, including Falls Lake, Jordan Lake, and the hidden basins of Lake Tupso and Lake Louise. The map traces the natural drainage patterns of Marten Cr and Illabot Cr, providing a detailed study of the glaciated valleys and mountain passes like Bettys Pass that characterize the North Cascades.
