2023 Map of Mount Spickard

About this map

Mt Spickard and Mt Rahm dominate the high-elevation landscape of Whatcom County, situated within a vast protected corridor along the Canadian border. This high-alpine region is defined by the sharp elevations of Custer Ridge and the glacial waters of Silver Lake, feeding a complex drainage system that includes Silver Creek and Perry Creek. The map documents the overlap of significant federal land designations, including North Cascades National Park, the Stephen Mather Wilderness, and the Ross Lake National Recreation Area. For those tracing historical access, the Little Beaver Trl follows the course of Little Beaver Creek, providing one of the few established routes through this steep terrain. The presence of numerous named waterways like Mist Creek and Arctic Creek underscores the hydrological importance of this wilderness area at the headwaters of the regional watershed.
