1988 Map of Norse Peak

About this map

The high Cascades at the Pierce and Yakima County line are documented in this late-1980s topographic record, defined by the intersection of three major wilderness areas. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the high ridges, passing landmarks such as Norse Peak and Scout Pass as it follows the crest between the Snoqualmie National Forest and the Norse Peak Wilderness. Historical extraction is evidenced by a Mine and Mines located near the upper reaches of Morse Creek, suggesting the area's prospecting past before its designation as protected land.
