About this map

Mount Adams dominates the eastern boundary of this 1970 survey, where the Adams Glacier, White Salmon Glacier, and Avalanche Glacier descend from the high peaks. The landscape is defined by the high-altitude volcanic terrain of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and the Mount Adams Wilderness. A network of backcountry infrastructure supports exploration of the western slopes, including High Camp, Divide Camp, and the uniquely named Graveyard Camp.

Water moves from the glacial heights toward the Lewis River and White Salmon River via steep drainages like Riley Creek and Salt Creek. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the center of the sheet, connecting alpine features such as Sheep Lake and Lookingglass Lake. In the south, the Morrison Creek Campground sits at the base of Crofton Ridge, marking a transition point into the denser forest lowlands.
