2020 Map of Mallardy Ridge

About this map

Gold Basin and the surrounding peaks of the Cascade Range define this high-elevation landscape within the Mount Baker National Forest and Snoqualmie National Forest. The 2020 topography illustrates a complex drainage network where the South Fork Sauk River and the South Fork Stillaguamish River begin their descent. A high concentration of alpine water bodies, including Canyon Lake, Boardman Lake, and the Ashland Lakes, are connected by a system of ridges like Wiley Ridge and Mallardy Ridge. This modern survey details the vital access routes through the wilderness, from the Mountain Loop Highway Bridge to the Pinnacle Lake Trail, showing how the land is managed between forest boundaries and recreational corridors.
