About this map

Paradise and the surrounding high-elevation terrain of Mount Rainier National Park define this 2014 survey. The area is a dense network of ice and rock, featuring massive flows such as Emmons Glacier, Nisqually Glacier, and the Ingraham Glacier. For researchers of alpine history and park development, the map details the infrastructure around Paradise Park and the winding path of Stevens Canyon Rd as it crosses the boundary between Pierce Co and Lewis Co.

Substantial landmarks such as Little Tahoma Peak and Gibraltar Rock dominate the eastern flank of the mountain, while lower elevations reveal water features like Sluiskin Falls and Fan Lake. This edition records the contemporary footprint of the Muir Snowfield and the complex glacial cirques, providing a precise record of the ice fields and ridges before recent climatic shifts further altered the landscape.
