About this map

Newhalem serves as the primary hub of human activity within this mountainous corridor, situated along the banks of the Skagit River. This 2011 survey documents the infrastructure of the Ross Lake National Recreation Area, where recreational sites like the Goodell Campground and Newhalem Campground cluster near the water. The map traces the logistical remnants of the region’s development, including Goodell Siding and Sky Creek Siding, alongside the winding path of NFD 3745 RD.

The landscape is dominated by high peaks and alpine water systems, featuring Mount Triumph, Mount Despair, and Trappers Peak. Glacial and snow-fed drainages like Goodell Creek and Terror Creek feed into the river valley, while the Thornton Lakes sit high above Thornton Creek. This record preserves the 21st-century state of these protected lands, capturing the balance between the isolated wilderness and the managed recreation zones that define this part of the Cascades.
