About this map

Packwood Lake sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, with Agnes Island visible near the lake's center. The terrain is defined by dramatic ridgelines and peaks, including Snyder Mtn and Angry Mtn, which frame a complex system of drainage basins. The eastern portion of the sheet transitions into the Goat Rocks Wilderness, where steep slopes lead toward Johnson Peak and the high meadows of Lily Basin.

A dense network of trails provides the primary access through these mountains, such as the Packwood Lake Trl and the Lilly Basin Trl. This area is characterized by numerous small alpine water bodies, including Lost Hat Lake, Art Lake, and Heart Lake, connected by cascading waters like Glacier Creek and Upper Lake Creek. The map documents the protected wilderness and forest boundaries as they stood in the early 21st century.
