1965 Map of Labyrinth Mtn

About this map

The Great Northern Tunnel and its predecessor, the Great Northern Tunnel (Abandoned), dominate the southern portion of this high-altitude landscape where Chelan, Snohomish, and King counties meet. This 1965 survey documents the critical transportation corridor over the Cascades, centered on the Stevens Pass Hwy and its associated Ski Lift facilities. The map traces the winding route of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it traverses high ridges between alpine water bodies like Lake Janus and Valhalla Lake. The rugged crest is punctuated by peaks such as Labyrinth Mtn and Lichtenberg Mtn, overlooking deep basins drained by the Little Wenatchee River and Nason Creek. This map is particularly valuable for documenting the transition of the Great Northern railway infrastructure and the early development of the pass as a recreation destination.
