2014 Map of Shuksan Arm

About this map

Mount Baker Lodge and the Mount Baker Ski Resort anchor the high-altitude development shown in this 2014 survey of the North Cascades. The landscape is defined by the massive glacial systems of the Mount Baker National Forest, including the Table Mountain Glacier, White Salmon Glacier, and Lower Curtis Glacier. Human presence in this alpine environment is centered at Heather Meadows and Galena Camp, where the Mt Baker Hwy terminates near Austin Pass. This map records the modern state of these recreational landmarks and the intricate hydrography of the high country, such as the Bagley Lakes and Picture Lake. Further south, the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail traverses the Lava Divide, passing remote sites like Baker Hot Spring and the steep terrain of Avalanche Gorge.
