1994 Map of Mc Coy Peak

About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this mid-1990s revision of the Cascades high country, a landscape defined by prominent volcanic peaks and ridgelines. Central to the sheet is the eponymous McCoy Peak, flanked by other notable summits including Langille Peak, Sunrise Peak, and Jumbo Peak. The map reveals a complex drainage network where McCoy Creek and its many tributaries, such as Sunrise Creek and Badger Creek, carve through the steep terrain. This area, updated with Forest Service data from a 1994 field check, highlights the importance of recreation and backcountry access via routes like the French Creek Trail. The map documents a rugged wilderness largely devoid of permanent settlements, focused instead on landmarks such as Yellow Jacket Pass and Dark Meadow, which serve as critical navigational points for explorers and forest managers alike.
