1989 Map of Sauk Mountain

About this map

Mt Baker National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in the late 1980s, where steep ridgelines and alpine lakes dominate the terrain of the North Cascades. The map shows the protected expanse of the Noisy-Diobsud Wilderness in the northeast, contrasting with industrial markers such as a Gravel Pit and an Old RR Grade that traces the valley floor near the Skagit River. Numerous glacial lakes, including Sauk Lake, Clear Lake, and Bald Lake, are tucked into the drainages below Sauk Mountain and Bald Mountain. The southern edge of the sheet follows the corridor of the Skagit Wild and Scenic River, where the confluence of mountain drainages like Jackman Creek and Barr Creek enter the main waterway, illustrating the complex hydrology of this mountain environment.
