2014 Map of Mallardy Ridge

About this map

Verlot serves as a central point of activity within the Mount Baker National Forest, situated where the South Fork Stillaguamish River flows through high-elevation terrain. This 2014 survey captures a landscape defined by its network of recreational outposts and protective designations, such as the City of Everett Watershed and the Lake Twenty-two Research Natural Area. The distribution of backcountry sites like Wiley Creek Camp, Slide Camp, and Bolt Camp suggests a geography heavily utilized for forest management and seasonal access. To the south, a dense cluster of alpine water bodies including Ashland Lakes, Beaver Plant Lake, and Lake Evan highlights the complex drainage systems of Mallardy Ridge. The presence of the Mountain Loop Highway Bridge indicates the primary transit corridor that connects these remote camps and campgrounds, including Gold Basin and River Bar, to the broader region.
