2011 Map of Skagit Peak

About this map

Skagit Peak and the high basins of Whatcom County define this mountain landscape along the international border with British Columbia. The area is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including the headwaters of Three Fools Creek and the meandering Freezeout Creek, which flows past Freezeout Lake. Human presence is marked primarily by backcountry landmarks such as Nightmare Camp in the western reaches and the Little Fish Shelter positioned along the southern stream banks. The topography is dominated by prominent summits like Freezeout Mountain and Joker Mountain, separated by high-altitude features like Welcome Basin and Elbow Basin. This 2011 survey records the intersection of named wilderness landmarks and primitive travel routes, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns that feed into the larger Skagit River system.
