2011 Map of Mount Arriva

About this map

Mount Arriva and the high ridges of the North Cascades define this landscape at the start of the 21st century. The survey details a glaciated high-altitude environment where features like Mesahchie Glacier and Lewis Glacier persist near prominent summits including Mesahchie Peak, Kitling Peak, and Black Peak. A network of high-elevation crossings, such as Easy Pass, Heather Pass, and Maple Pass, connect the steep drainages of Fisher Creek and Granite Creek. The Easy Pass Trailhead serves as a primary access point into this remote terrain, which is characterized by permanent snowfields and small alpine water bodies like the Silent Lakes and Wing Lake. This map captures the topography of the region just as modern digital mapping standards were being refined, documenting the extent of ice and permanent snow during the late 2000s.
