1969 Map of Jack Mtn

About this map

Jack Mountain dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Mt Baker National Forest, its peaks and ridgelines surveyed just as the region was being formally organized into modern conservation zones. The 1969 field check reveals a network of high-country routes including the long Pack Trail that crosses through Dry Creek Pass and passes near the Bear Skull Shelter. The map illustrates a complex drainage system where Devils Creek and its many tributaries, such as North Fork Devils Creek and Middle Fork, carve through the steep terrain between Spratt Mountain and Devils Dome. This document captures the boundary lines for the newly established Pasayten Wilderness and the Ross Lake National Recreation Area, showing the transition from general forest management to specific wilderness protection in the North Cascades.
