About this map

Ross Lake dominates this high-altitude landscape in the northern cascades, serving as the central artery for the Ross Lake National Recreation Area. The terrain is strictly protected through several overlapping designations, including the North Cascades National Park, the Stephen Mather Wilderness, and the Pasayten Wilderness. A complex network of drainages such as Skymo Creek, Devils Creek, and Big Beaver Creek feed into the lake from steep-walled peaks like Pumpkin Mtn.

Access is primarily defined by significant trekking routes, most notably the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trl which traverses the western slopes. Smaller paths like the East Bank Trl and Sourdough Trl provide land-based movement through the dense backcountry. The map also identifies several distinct landforms within the reservoir, including Tenmile Island, Little Jerusalem Island, and Cougar Island, which reveal the local topography of the flooded valley.
