1988 Map of Saska Peak

About this map

Entiat Mountains and the Chelan Mountains dominate this high-elevation corridor within the Wenatchee National Forest. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Entiat River, which is fed by numerous alpine tributaries such as Snow Creek and Anthem Creek. The survey identifies the Glacier Peak Wilderness boundary, marking a transition into more protected alpine environments. Significant summits like Saska Peak and Emerald Peak tower over the drainage basins, while lower-elevation landmarks such as the Cottonwood Guard Station and Cottonwood Campground provide points of human interface with the backcountry. Notable high-altitude passes, including Borealis Pass and Saska Pass, indicate established routes through the steep terrain, connecting isolated basins like the one containing Myrtle Lake.
