About this map

Old Snowy Mtn and the high alpine crests of the Cascades dominate this 2023 survey of the wilderness borderlands between Lewis and Yakima counties. The landscape is defined by its glacial ice and dramatic elevation changes, featuring the Rockwood Glacier and McCall Glacier near the southern boundary. These ice fields feed the headwaters of the Clear Fork Cowlitz River and the North Fork Tieton River, which flow from high basins like Jordan Basin and McCall Basin.

The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the heart of the map, crossing Tieton Pass and providing access to remote high-altitude water bodies including Shoe Lake, Miriam Lake, and Goat Lake. This modern topographic study shows the enduring protected status of the Goat Rocks Wilderness, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, and Snoqualmie National Forest, preserving a terrain of sharp ridges like Hogback Ridge and prominent summits including Tieton Peak and Hawkeye Point.
