1953 Map of Mt Shuksan

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Mt Baker National Forest and the High Cascades dominate this mid-century survey, which details a landscape defined by glacial peaks and early wilderness access points. Near the base of the massif, Mt Baker Lodge and Galena Camp served as primary hubs for hikers and climbers, while the high country was still actively being explored for mineral wealth. The map records several notable industrial operations, including the Lone Jack Mine, Red Mountain Mine, and Silvertip Mine, which reflect the region's mining history before much of the area was designated as part of the North Cascades National Park. The intricate drainage networks of Silesia Creek and the North Fork Nooksack River are captured alongside high-altitude landmarks like Austin Pass and the Silesia Creek Shelter, documenting the infrastructure of 1950s recreation and extraction.
