About this map

North Cascades National Park dominates this high-elevation terrain, defined by the serrated peaks of the Picket Range. This 2014 survey captures the glaciated landscape of the northern Cascades, where massive ice fields like Challenger Glacier and Terror Glacier feed a network of steep drainages, including Goodell Cr and McMillan Cr. The map documents the high-alpine topography surrounding peaks with evocative names like Mt Terror, Mt Fury, and Mt Challenger.

Human presence is minimal, limited to the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail which traverses the northern section. Notable landmarks for backcountry navigation include the Beaver Pass Shelter and high-altitude crossings such as Perfect Pass and Picket Pass. The map also identifies numerous glacial lakes, from the remote Azure Lake to the small Eiley Lake and Wiley Lake perched high above the timberline.
