About this map

Osborne Mountain and the jagged spine of Sawtooth Ridge dominate this Pierce County landscape, where the northern border is defined by the winding course of the Nisqually River. High-elevation water bodies like Bertha May Lake, Granite Lake, and Cora Lake are tucked into the steep drainages of Catt Creek and Berry Creek.

Logging and forest management roads, such as Skate Creek Rd N and NFD 85 Rd, provide access to remote outposts like High Rock and Towhead Gap. The presence of several established sites, including Big Creek Campground and Sunshine Point Campground, indicates a landscape long utilized for recreation near the gateway to major mountain peaks. Topographical details reveal the complex network of unnamed ridges and drainages that feed into Lynx Creek and Willie Creek at the southern edge of the quadrangle.
