About this map

Mt Baker - Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this landscape, which is cross-managed by the Gifford Pinchot National Forest authorities. The terrain is defined by high-elevation peaks including Bald Mountain, Huckleberry Mountain, and Lookout Peak, which overlook a complex drainage system feeding into the Newaukum River and the North Fork Tilton River. At the heart of this remote wilderness lies Newaukum Lake, with the surrounding slopes showing the intricate topography of the Cascade foothills.

The map reveals the headwaters of several critical watercourses, such as Bigwater Creek, Thorn Creek, and Winnie Creek. To the south, Rooster Rock stands as a prominent landmark near Bear Canyon, illustrating the shift from steep timbered ridges to deep creek beds. This 1990s revision serves as a record of the forest's primitive trail and drainage patterns before major shifts in land management or environmental change in the Lewis County backcountry.
