2014 Map of McAlester Mountain

About this map

McAlester Mtn stands as a central topographic anchor in this high-altitude landscape where North Cascades National Park, Wenatchee National Forest, and Okanogan National Forest converge. The terrain is defined by a series of significant passes and drainage systems, most notably McAlester Pass and Twisp Pass, which facilitate movement through the high peaks of the Chelan and Okanogan county line. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the western portion of the map, providing access to remote locations like Fireweed Camp and Bridge Cr. High alpine water bodies, including McAlester Lake, Dagger Lake, and the ice-bound Lyall Glacier, illustrate the glacial and snow-fed hydrology of the Cascades. The map details the intricate network of headwaters for the S Fork Twisp River and Rainbow Cr, reflecting a wilderness preserved for recreation and natural study.
