About this map

Mount Baker dominates this 2017 survey, revealing the complex volcanic and glacial anatomy of one of Washington's most iconic peaks. Within the Mount Baker National Forest, the map details significant geothermal and geologic landmarks like Sherman Crater and the Summit Crater, along with the steep precipice of the Roman Wall. The drainage patterns of the high country are meticulously traced, from the headwaters of Glacier Cr to the expansive Hadley Glacier.

Ridges and divides radiating from the central peak provide a framework for the high-altitude landscape, including Skyline Divide in the north and Lasiocarpa Ridge to the east. For those studying the mountain's volatile history, features such as Lahar Lookout and the Crater Moraine offer concrete points of reference for glacial movement and volcanic debris. The survey also identifies several prominent neighboring summits, including the jagged Black Buttes comprised of Colfax Peak and Lincoln Peak.
