2014 Map of Monte Cristo

About this map

Monte Cristo and Galena occupy the high mountain reaches of this 2014 survey, where the S Fork Sauk River and the North Fork Skykomish River find their headwaters. This terrain is defined by the overlap of the Mount Baker National Forest and Snoqualmie National Forest, featuring a dense concentration of peaks and passes. Named landmarks like Del Campo Peak, Gothic Peak, and Silvertip Peak rise above high-altitude water bodies such as Silver Lake and the Twin Lakes. The map documents established backcountry infrastructure including the Monte Cristo Campground and Troublesome Creek Campground, alongside unique geographic features like Poodle Dog Pass and Seventysix Gulch. The arrangement of Mineral City and Galena reflects the area's history of remote settlement and mountain exploration.
