About this map

Mount Baker Lodge stands as a central landmark in this high-altitude landscape of Whatcom County, situated near the headwaters of Bagley Creek and the shores of Picture Lake. The 1989 topography reveals a complex network of glacial features and alpine water bodies, including the White Salmon Glacier and Lower Curtis Glacier on the eastern slopes. The transition from Mt Baker National Forest to the Mt Baker Wilderness and North Cascades National Park is clearly delineated, marking a protected region dominated by peaks like Table Mountain and Barometer Mountain. Notable recreational and geological points of interest, such as Artist Point, the Galena Chain Lakes, and Baker Hot Spring, illustrate the intersection of early tourism infrastructure and the raw glacial environment of the Cascades during the late twentieth century.
