1963 Map of Ross Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Ross Dam serves as the focal point of this Skagit River landscape, where industrial infrastructure meets the protected wilderness of North Cascades National Park and the Ross Lake National Recreation Area. The hydro-electric complex is documented through the powerhouse and gaging stations along the river, while the local hospitality of the era is represented by the Diablo Lake Resort. A network of historic pack trails, including the Pack Trail and Jack Mtn Trail, provide access to the high-elevation terrain near Colonial Peak and the Neve Glacier. This 1963 survey captures the area during a period of infrastructure expansion, specifically noting the road section under construction near the Ruby Arm. Natural landmarks like the John Pierce Waterfall and the Panther Potholes highlight the unique geological features surrounding the massive reservoir.
