About this map

Mt Logan dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Skagit Co and Chelan Co during the early 1960s. The region is defined by a dense concentration of active ice fields, including the massive Fremont Glacier, Douglas Glacier, and Thunder Glacier. This era of the North Cascades shows the primitive infrastructure of the high backcountry, where the Cascade Crest Trail serves as the primary artery for movement through the steep terrain.

Evidence of early mountaineering and forest management is seen at Rock Cabin along Fisher Creek, while the sawtooth peaks of Ragged Ridge and Red Mtn mark the drainage divides between Panther Creek and the North Fork Bridge Creek. This map captures the wilderness character of the Mt Baker National Forest and Okanogan National Forest before more modern recreational designations and climate impacts altered the visible extent of the glaciers.
