2011 Map of Polallie Ridge

About this map

Polallie Ridge Lookout stands as a central sentinel over this high-country landscape in the central Cascades, where glacial lakes and narrow river valleys define the terrain. The hydrological network is particularly dense here, anchored by the Cooper River and the Waptus River, which drain numerous high-elevation basins such as Escondido Lake and Pete Lake. The map details a complex system of mountain transit, showing how Waptus Pass and Copper Pass provide natural corridors through the peaks. To the south, the waters of Little Kachess Lake and the Kachess River reflect the importance of these alpine reservoirs. Notable peaks like Island Mountain, Cone Mountain, and Red Mountain create a formidable geography, while smaller features like Diamond Lake and Tumble Creek indicate the detailed surveying of this wilderness area.
