2023 Map of Mount David

About this map

Mt David and Mt Jonathan anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Glacier Peak Wilderness and the Wenatchee National Forest. The drainage patterns of the White River and the Napeequa River dominate the topography, with the White River Falls marking a significant descent in the central valley. The map documents a primitive transportation network consisting of several established backcountry paths, including the White River Trl and the Mount David Trl, which navigate the steep ascents of the White Mountains and Wenatchee Ridge. Small alpine features like Lake Elsey and the Indian Ponds are tucked into the high basins, while numerous seasonal and perennial flows such as Panther Creek and Canyon Creek carve deep into the slopes. This survey provides a contemporary record of the protected wilderness areas, showing the exact relationship between the named peaks and the riparian corridors that define the Cascades' interior.
