About this map

Mount Baker National Forest and the Noisy-Diobsud Wilderness define this high-elevation landscape in Skagit County. The topography is dominated by massive peaks including Sauk Mtn and Bald Mtn, which serve as the headwaters for a complex drainage system. Small alpine basins hold Sauk Lake, Bald Lake, and Clear Lake, connected by steep drainages like Jackman Creek and Rocky Creek.

Access to these heights is primarily via the Sauk Lake Trl, which navigates the slopes of the Sauk Mountain massif. The map documents the intricate creek systems, such as Diobsud Creek and Sutter Creek, that feed into the Skagit River watershed. This survey provides a precise look at the wilderness boundaries and glacial landforms as they existed in the early 2020s, showing a terrain largely defined by its natural water features and protected status.
