About this map

Mount Spickard and Mount Rahm dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of the United States of America and Canada. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of glacial drainages including Silver Creek, Perry Creek, and Little Beaver Creek. This area of Whatcom County is primarily managed as wilderness, falling within the boundaries of North Cascades National Park and the Ross Lake National Recreation Area.

The hydrography of the region is centered around high basins like the one containing Silver Lake, which feeds into the larger creek systems below. Evidence of backcountry infrastructure is present at the Perry Creek Shelter, located near the confluence of Perry Creek and Little Beaver Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the complex topography defined by Custer Ridge and the various tributaries such as Mist Creek and Arctic Creek that shape these mountain valleys.
