2017 Map of Mount Blum

About this map

North Cascades National Park serves as the backdrop for this high-elevation survey of the North Cascades, defined by a vertical landscape where glacier-fed waters like the Baker River and Picket Cr carve deep drainage patterns between prominent massifs. The topography is anchored by the massive Mount Blum in the southwest and Whatcom Peak in the northeast, connected by a network of high-country passes and ridges. The presence of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail crossing the northern section highlights the area's importance for wilderness navigation. Local drainage systems like Bald Eagle Cr, Lonesome Cr, and Scramble Cr feed the larger basins, while high-altitude features like Blum Lakes and Chilliwack Pass mark the transition points between these steep alpine watersheds.
