1989 Map of Lake Philippa

About this map

The Middle Fork Snoqualmie River carves through the heart of this landscape, reflecting a rugged wilderness interior in King County during the late 1980s. This territory is defined by the high peaks of the Snoqualmie National Forest, including Bessemer Mountain and Garfield Mountain, which overlook a complex system of alpine water bodies. The presence of a Mine Shaft and an Adit near Quartz Creek points to the area's history of mineral prospecting, while a simple Footbridge and scattered 4wd tracks indicate the limited reach of infrastructure into the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. A notable concentration of high-altitude lakes, such as Lake Philippa and Upper Loch Katrine, illustrates the glacially carved terrain that defines the drainage patterns of the Pratt River and Taylor River.
