About this map

Mt Blum and the surrounding wilderness of the North Cascades National Park dominate this 2020 landscape in Whatcom County. The terrain is defined by high-altitude ridges and watercourses, with the Baker River carving through the center of the sheet. High-elevation landmarks such as Mineral Mtn, Easy Peak, and Whatcom Peak provide a framework for the complex topography of Easy Ridge and Pioneer Ridge.

Transit through this protected backcountry is represented by the Pacific NW National Scenic Trl, which winds through the northeastern corner near Brush Cr. Historical passage points like Chilliwack Pass and Jasper Pass underscore the area's significance for early mountaineers and surveyors. Glacial runoff feeds a network of drainage including Bald Eagle Cr, Lonesome Cr, and Sulphide Cr, eventually pooling in the high-alpine Blum Lakes south of the primary peak.
