1989 Map of Mount Shuksan

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Mt Shuksan serves as the central massif of this high-altitude landscape, where the convergence of the North Cascades National Park, Mt Baker National Forest, and Mt Baker Wilderness boundaries creates a complex administrative mosaic. The sheet is defined by its massive glacial systems, including the extensive Sulphide Glacier and East Nooksack Glacier, which feed the drainages of the North Fork Nooksack River and the Baker River. High-relief features like Nooksack Tower and the Summit Pyramid overlook the Nooksack Cirque, illustrating a terrain shaped by heavy ice and significant elevation changes. For the historical researcher, the map documents the late 20th-century state of these permanent ice fields and the specific placement of the Wilderness Boundary during the 1980s. Local landmarks such as Price Lake and Shuksan Lake are caught between the rock ribs of Jagged Ridge and Seahpo Peak.
