About this map

Mount Wow and the high ridges of the Cascades dominate this 2020 landscape on the western edge of Mount Rainier National Park. The survey illustrates a complex hydrological system where the Puyallup River and its north and south forks originate from glacial drainage. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks like Gobblers Knob and Mt Beljica, while the Wonderland Trail winds through the northeastern sector past Kapatche Ridge.

Deep basins hold numerous alpine water bodies, including Lake Christine, Beljica Meadows Lake, and Lake Allen. The boundary between Snoqualmie National Forest and the national park creates a protected corridor that includes significant features like Emerald Ridge and Round Pass. This map provides clear documentation of the natural topography and established trail systems within Pierce Co and Lewis Co before recent environmental shifts.
