About this map

The William O Douglas Wilderness and the Mt Baker Snoqualmie National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape, where the flat-topped landmark of Meeks Table stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding drainage networks. The map details a complex intersection of administrative lands, including the Wenatchee National Forest and a designated State Wildlife Area.

Water sources define the geography of the ridges, from the winding path of Nile Creek in the north to the Rattlesnake Creek system in the south. High-elevation basins hold small alpine bodies of water such as McDaniel Lake, Angel Lake, and Mal Lake. Numerous 4WD tracks and trails navigate the steep terrain between Devils Ridge and Bethel Ridge, while labels like Cowpuncher Creek and Dry Canyon speak to the area's history of rugged back-country use and seasonal water flow.
