About this map

Boulder River carves through the heart of this landscape, separating the high elevations of Boulder Ridge and Wheeler Mountain from the southern peaks of Olo Mountain and Green Mountain. The 1980s terrain is characterized by the established boundaries of the Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and the Boulder River Wilderness, highlighting a period of conservation and land management in the Cascade Range.

Several high-altitude lakes, including Bandana Lake, Saddle Lake, and Tupso Lake, are connected by a network of drainage systems like Meadow Creek and Tupso Creek. While predominantly natural, the presence of a Quarry near the North Fork suggests localized industrial activity amidst the summits. Notable landmarks such as Boulder Falls and Tupso Pass provide reference points for navigating this complex system of ridges and valleys during a decade when these areas were becoming increasingly vital for recreational and ecological study.
