About this map

Mount Adams dominates the eastern horizon of this high-altitude landscape within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. This section of the Cascades is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the Lewis River in the north and the White Salmon River further south. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the elevation contours, providing a path through notable landmarks like The Bumper, The Hump, and the high alpine Horseshoe Meadow.

Lower elevations to the southwest transition into a complex of ridges and meadows, such as Stagman Ridge and Madcat Meadow. The presence of Lookingglass Lake and various springs like Rock Spring and Big Spring highlight the hydrologic importance of this wilderness area. Several Forest Service roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 23 and Nat For Dev Rd 120, provide access to the interior, reflecting modern forest management and recreational access across the Yakima and Skamania county line.
