2020 Map of Poe Mountain

About this map

Indian Pass serves as a critical geographic gateway on the crest of the Cascades, marking the high-altitude divide between Snohomish and Chelan counties. This wilderness landscape is defined by the sharp elevations of the North Cascades, where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses northward toward Meander Meadow. The drainage patterns here are complex, with the headwaters of the Little Wenatchee River carving through the Little Wenatchee Gorge to the south, while Cady Creek drains the western slopes below Cady Ridge. Several prominent summits punctuate the horizon, including Poe Mountain, Longfellow Mtn, and Irving Peak, illustrating the verticality of the Wenatchee National Forest. Isolated water bodies like Top Lake sit in high basins, reachable only by the network of ridges and passes that have historically guided travelers through this high-country terrain.
