2023 Map of Silverton

About this map

The South Fork Stillaguamish River flows through the center of this mountain landscape, following a valley where the settlement of Silverton is located. This area is defined by sharp elevation changes and high peaks, including Big Four Mtn and Vesper Peak. The terrain is managed across three distinct federal lands: the Boulder River Wilderness, Mount Baker National Forest, and Snoqualmie National Forest. Numerous high-altitude water bodies are scattered throughout the peaks, such as Kalcema Lake and Independence Lake. The mapping of features like Silver Gulch and Marble Gulch suggests a history of mineral exploration in the steep drainages above the river. Access to these heights is provided by a network of paths including the Kalcema-Lake Trl and Beaver Creek Trl, linking the valley floor to remote passes like Deer Creek Pass.
