1989 Map of Noble Knob

About this map

The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the high-elevation terrain of the Cascade Range, crossing the county lines between Pierce, King, Yakima, and Kittitas. This 1989 provisional survey details the remote reaches of the Norse Peak Wilderness and Snoqualmie National Forest, where high mountain passes like Corral Pass and Windy Gap provided early routes through the timber. Small settlements and campsites such as Camp Urich and Government Meadow are situated near the headwaters of the Greenwater River, while a network of glacial water bodies including Lost Lake, Echo Lake, and Hidden Lake are scattered across the landscape. Notable peaks such as Noble Knob and Pyramid Peak overlook the deep valleys of Whistler Creek and Pyramid Creek, indicating the intense relief of this protected watershed.
