1965 Map of Monte Cristo

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Monte Cristo stands as the central hub of this high-alpine landscape, captured during a mid-1960s field check with later Forest Service updates. The geography is defined by the sharp divide between the Mt Baker National Forest and Snoqualmie National Forest, where the headwaters of the South Fork Sauk River and North Fork Skykomish River originate. The presence of Mineral City (Site) and Galena (Site) points to the area's transition from a late-19th-century mining district to a rugged recreation area. High-altitude landmarks like Poodle Dog Pass and Silver Lake neighbor steep drainages such as Seventysix Gulch, illustrating the difficult terrain that once challenged prospectors. Further south, the Troublesome Creek drainage meets the Skykomish River near a Gaging Station, marking the lower elevations of this complex mountain terrain.
