About this map

Mt Saint Helens dominates this 2013 survey, which documents the profound transformation of the landscape decades after its famous eruption. The summit is defined by the 1980 Crater and the horseshoe-shaped The Breach, opening toward the Pumice Plain and Spirit Lake to the north. This cartographic study reveals the complex glacial systems that have re-established within the crater, including the Crater Glacier, alongside established ice bodies like the Shoestring Glacier and Swift Glacier.

Detailed topographic contours trace the hardened paths of the Worm Flows and the Floating Island Lava Flow, while landmarks like Dogs Head and Sugar Bowl provide fixed points on the volcanic rim. The map also delineates the Gifford Pinchot National Forest boundary as it crosses the Cowlitz Co and Skamania Co line, providing a precise look at the recovery of the N Fork Toutle River drainage system.
