1989 Map of Mount Phelps

About this map

Mount Phelps stands as a prominent central landmark in this high-altitude landscape within the Snoqualmie National Forest. The map documents a rugged wilderness at the edge of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, dominated by the drainage systems of the North Fork Tolt River and the North Fork Snoqualmie River. Industry is represented by several remote extraction sites including Lennox Mines, Beaverdale Mine, and the Blackhawk Mine, often situated near high ridges like Prospectors Ridge. The presence of the South Fork Tolt Reservoir and the South Fork Tolt Watershed (City of Seattle) Boundary highlights the area's critical role in regional water management. High-mountain lakes such as Loch Katrine, Crater Lake, and Lake Elizabeth dot the terrain, while the Lennox Trail provides a documented route through this complex topography of peaks like Bare Mountain and Frozen Mountain.
