About this map

Snoqualmie National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, where the American Ridge and Fifes Ridge define the rugged topography of the Cascade Range. The Chinook Pass Highway follows the valley of the American River, providing the primary corridor through this high-elevation terrain. Along the river, localized points of interest like Indian Flat and Willow Springs suggest historical rest areas for travelers crossing the passes.

The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by prominent peaks such as Old Scab Mtn and Little Bald Mtn. Water sources are abundant even at these heights, evidenced by the presence of Flat Iron Lake, Bumping Lake, and the mineral waters of Soda Springs. This 2020 survey details a network of named drainages including Nile Cr, Goat Creek, and Swamp Creek, which flow through deep-cut valleys between the ridges.
