About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, characterized by volcanic buttes and a dense network of glacial lakes and alpine meadows. The high plateau of Indian Heaven dominates the southern half of the sheet, where clusters of small water bodies like Thomas Lake, Lemei Lake, and Deep Lake sit amongst peaks like Bird Mountain and Lemei Rock.

Resource extraction and seasonal recreation define the human footprint here during the mid-1960s. The Lone Butte Quarry and a Gravel Pit indicate active road maintenance or industrial use, while a series of established campsites including Tillicum Campground and Cold Spring Campground cater to visitors. The Cascade Crest Trail provides the primary north-south artery for wilderness travel, connecting remote outposts such as the Mosquito Lake Station and the Cultus Creek Station through a landscape of named meadows like Skookum Meadow.
