1971 Map of Mount Wow

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Mount Wow anchors this high-elevation landscape within the southern reaches of the Snoqualmie National Forest and Mount Rainier National Park. A significant interpretive highlight is the Marine Memorial Airplane Crash Monument located at Round Pass, a poignant marker of military aviation history set against the steep slopes of Emerald Ridge. The map details a complex network of glacial meltwater drainage, where the Puyallup River and Nisqually River carry runoff from the higher peaks through deep-cut valleys. Remote high-altitude destinations such as Lake George and Lake Allen are accessible via the historic Wonderland Trail, which traverses the ridge lines. The presence of a Patrol Cabin and various lookout points like Gabblers Knob reflects the early 1970s infrastructure for backcountry management and fire surveillance in this wilderness area.
