About this map

Glacier Peak Wilderness defines the dramatic high-elevation landscape within this section of the Mt Baker Snoqualmie National Forest. The map documents a complex system of ice and water, where the Milk Lake Glacier, Scimitar Glacier, and Ptarmigan Glacier feed into the headwaters of the Suiattle River and White Chuck River. These glacial systems are punctuated by high alpine landmarks such as Kennedy Peak and Lime Mountain.

Human activity is centered on the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which traverses the eastern half of the quadrangle, and the Sulphur Creek Campground in the north. The area's hydrology is exceptionally dense, featuring numerous remote basins like Mica Lake and Box Mountain Lakes. This 1999 revision captures the state of these receding glaciers and protected wilderness boundaries at the end of the 20th century.
