1979 Map of Mt. Baker

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Mt Baker and its surrounding ice fields, including the Coleman Glacier and Deming Glacier, dominate this high-altitude landscape of the North Cascades during the late 1970s. This survey illustrates a complex geography where alpine recreation and resource extraction meet. The northern border with Canada is marked by remote operations such as the Red Mountain Mine and Lone Jack Mine, while the southern corridor along the Skagit River reveals the region's industrial and hydroelectric infrastructure. Communities like Concrete, Hamilton, and Newhalem anchor the river valleys, connected by the Burlington Northern Railroad and State Highway 20. The map documents the intricate water systems of Ross Lake and Baker Lake, tracing the various creeks and forks that feed these reservoirs. It also defines the 1970s boundaries of the North Cascades National Park and the Mt Baker National Recreation Area, reflecting a period of significant land management transitions in the Pacific Northwest.
