About this map

Glacial ice and high-altitude drainage systems dominate this high-country landscape in the North Cascades. The map records the positions of the Milk Lake Glacier, Ptarmigan Glacier, and Kennedy Glacier as they appeared in the early 21st century, feeding the headwaters of the Suiattle River and White Chuck River. This terrain is defined by extreme relief, moving from the depths of the river valleys to the summits of Kennedy Peak and Box Mountain.

Civilian infrastructure is concentrated at the Sulphur Creek Campground and the Suiattle Trailhead in the north, providing the primary access points for this wilderness. The distribution of numerous small, isolated water bodies like Mica Lake, Diamond Lake, and the Box Mountain Lakes illustrates the complex hydrology of the region. This survey captures a moment in the geomorphology of the Cascades, where seasonal snowmelt and perennial ice fields continue to shape landmarks such as Fire Creek Pass and Grassy Point.
