1988 Map of Saska Peak

About this map

The Entiat Mountains and the Chelan Mountains converge in this high-elevation region of the Wenatchee National Forest, where the Entiat River carves a deep central drainage. In the late 1980s, this landscape was defined by its protected status within the Glacier Peak Wilderness, showing a terrain dominated by significant peaks like Saska Peak and Emerald Peak. Human presence is concentrated along the river corridor, marked by the Cottonwood Guard Station and the nearby Cottonwood Campground. Numerous high-country water features, including Choral Lake, Fern Lake, and Myrtle Lake, sit tucked into the basins between ridges like Duncan Ridge. The map documents a network of alpine passes, such as Milham Pass and Borealis Pass, that have long served as the primary routes through this formidable section of the Cascades.
