1965 Map of Monte Cristo

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Monte Cristo sits high in the North Cascades, serving as a focal point for this 1960s survey that was photorevised in the early 1980s. The map documents a landscape defined by its mining heritage and demanding geography, noting the historic locations of Mineral City and Galena. These sites reflect the boom-and-bust cycles of the region's mineral extraction era, now contained within the Mt Baker Snoqualmie National Forest. High-altitude water bodies such as Silver Lake, Foggy Lake, and Twin Lakes are scattered among prominent summits like Del Campo Peak and Gothic Peak. Drainage patterns are clearly marked, with the South Fork Sauk River flowing north and the North Fork Skykomish River winding through the southern portion. For researchers, the transition from active mining settlements to designated historical sites is visible through labels like Seventysix Gulch and Poodle Dog Pass, which once hummed with prospectors and pack trains.
