About this map

Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the crest of the Cascade Range, where the borders of King, Pierce, Kittitas, and Yakima counties converge. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern portion of the map, passing significant waypoints like Windy Gap, Louisiana Saddle, and the Arch Rock Shelter. This area is a critical corridor for mountain travel, centered on Naches Pass and the historic Government Meadow, where the Government Meadow Camp and Camp Urich represent long-standing recreational and transit nodes.

The Greenwater River drainage shapes the western terrain, collecting waters from Greenwater Lakes and high alpine basins like Echo Lake and George Lake. Surveyed landmarks such as the Pyramid Peak Lookout and the namesake Noble Knob overlook a complex topography of ridges including Dalles Ridge and peaks like Castle Mtn and Mutton Mtn. The presence of Corral Pass and numerous forest service roads highlights the modern management of this wilderness for timber and recreation.
