About this map

Adams Glacier and the White Salmon Glacier dominate the high-altitude landscape on this western slope of the Cascades. The 2011 terrain reflects a harsh, dynamic environment where ice and volcanic rock shape the hydrology. Several seasonal backcountry outposts are marked, including Graveyard Camp, Divide Camp, and Sled Camp, serving as essential reference points for alpine travel.

The watershed is defined by the headwaters of the White Salmon River and Lewis River, which are fed by glacial melt flowing past features like The Hump and The Bumper. Further south, the landscape transitions into meadows and ridges, such as Horseshoe Meadow and Stagman Ridge. This area is a critical junction for water resources, with Lookingglass Lake and the Salt Creek drainage providing clear evidence of the intricate flow patterns from the high peaks down toward the Morrison Creek Campground area.
