About this map

Jack Mountain and the expansive Nohokomeen Glacier dominate this 1960s survey of the High Cascades. The map documents a landscape defined by high-altitude drainages and established trail networks within the Mt Baker National Forest and the Pasayten Wilderness. A notable human element in this wilderness area is the Bear Skull Shelter, located near Dry Creek Pass.

The drainage patterns are meticulously recorded, showing how Cinnamon Creek, Grizzly Creek, and the various forks of Devils Creek flow from the peaks. The boundary of the Ross Lake National Recreation Area is clearly delineated along the western edge, marking the transition between managed forest and protected wilderness. This map is a record of the backcountry as it existed just after these federal wilderness and recreation designations were established.
