2011 Map of Mowich Lake

About this map

Mount Rainier National Park dominates this terrain, showcasing a massive glacial system where the Carbon Glacier and Russell Glacier feed the headwaters of the Carbon River and North Mowich River. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its dramatic hydrology, featuring numerous cascades such as Spray Falls, Ipsut Falls, and Giant Falls. The map documents established backcountry infrastructure including the Ipsut Creek Campground and trails passing through Ipsut Pass and Knapsack Pass. Alpine meadows and flats like Elysian Fields, Mist Park, and Bee Flat offer small breaks in the steep topography of Mother Mountain and Chenuis Mountain. This modern survey provides an exact look at the 2011 extent of these massive ice fields and the surrounding peaks of the Cascade Range.
