About this map

Old Snowy Mountain and the high peaks of the Goat Rocks define this high-elevation wilderness where the Gifford Pinchot National Forest meets the Snoqualmie National Forest. The landscape is a complex network of glacial activity and alpine hydrology, featuring the McCall Glacier and several high-altitude water bodies such as Coyote Lake, Shoe Lake, and Miriam Lake.

Human passage through this difficult terrain is primarily marked by recreational infrastructure, notably the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which winds along the ridgelines near Hogback Mtn and through Tieton Pass. The map details the headwaters of several significant drainages, including the Clear Fork Cowlitz River and the N Fork Tieton River, illustrating the divide between the Cowlitz and Yakima watersheds. Distinctive landmarks like Chimney Rock and Hawkeye Point provide navigational reference points for this protected wilderness area.
