About this map

Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, which captures a network of forestry and conservation boundaries in the Cascades. The map shows the transition into Mount Rainier National Park at its southern edge, where high-elevation landmarks like Old Baldy Mtn and Carbon Ridge rise above the river valleys. A complex system of forest roads, including NFD 7710 Rd and several National Forest Development routes, provides access to the steep drainage basins of S Fork S Prairie Cr and Wilkeson Cr.

In the southwest corner, the settlement of Upper Fairfax sits near the banks of the Carbon River, serving as a rare point of habitation in an otherwise protected wilderness. Local history is etched into the topography at sites like South Prairie Lookout and the jagged peaks of The Three Sisters. The terrain is defined by the sharp divides between Gale Cr, New Pond Cr, and Beaver Cr, documenting the drainage patterns that have shaped this timber and recreation corridor.
