About this map

The high alpine intersection of the Wenatchee National Forest and Mt Baker National Forest defines this 1965 field-checked survey. Central to the landscape is the Little Wenatchee River, which flows through a series of numbered tributaries including Twelvemile Creek and Thirteenmile Creek. The terrain is characterized by prominent summits like Poe Mountain and Longfellow Mtn, joined by the extensive Cady Ridge.

Primitive access is primarily limited to a network of labels marked simply as Pack Trail, winding through the Glacier Peak Wilderness. Notable human activity is centered at the Little Wenatchee Ford Campground and Lake Creek Campground, providing essential points of reference for those tracing historical backcountry access. The boundary between Snohomish and Chelan counties follows the crest near Indian Pass, illustrating how natural topography dictated political divisions in the high Cascades.
