About this map

Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this landscape in the eastern reaches of King County, where the upper Green River carves through high terrain. The settlement of Lester serves as a primary point of reference in a region defined by its complex network of watercourses and forest service access roads. Numerous drainages, including Sunday Creek, Friday Creek, and Sawmill Creek, feed into the river from the steep slopes of Bald Mtn and Kelly Butte.

Recreational and historical corridors crisscross the area, most notably the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl as it traverses the high ridges. Other established paths like the Sawmill Ridge Trl and the Greenwater/Naches Trl follow the natural topography, reflecting a long history of passage through these mountain passes. The map also delineates the boundary between King Co and Kittitas Co, marking the transition across the crest near Colquhoun Peak.
