2023 Map of Mount Shuksan

About this map

Mt Shuksan and its iconic Summit Pyramid dominate this high-elevation landscape within the North Cascades National Park and the Stephen Mather Wilderness. The map documents an intricate network of glaciers, including the Sulphide Glacier, Price Glacier, and the East Nooksack Glacier, which feed the headwaters of the North Fork Nooksack River and Baker River. Notable alpine features like The Hourglass and Winnies Slide provide specific detail for those studying the physical geography of the Cascades. Access to this primitive backcountry is marked by the Nooksack Cirque Trl and the Baker River Trl, showing the intersection of Mount Baker National Forest and protected wilderness areas. The survey also captures isolated water bodies such as Shuksan Lake and Price Lake, set against the jagged ridges of Nooksack Ridge and Icy Peak.
