2020 Map of Skykomish

About this map

Skykomish serves as the central hub of this mountain corridor, situated at the confluence of the Beckler River and the South Fork Skykomish River. The map highlights a landscape dominated by the Snoqualmie National Forest, where steep ridgelines like Maloney Ridge and Tonga Ridge overlook deep river valleys. Significant infrastructure follows the river's path, including the Skykomish State Airport and the historic route of the NE Old Cascade Hwy. The high-altitude terrain is dotted with numerous alpine water bodies such as Top Lake, Maloney Lakes, and the chain of lakes within the Necklace Valley. These features indicate a region historically shaped by both its challenging topography and its role as a vital passage through the Cascades, evidenced by the network of Forest Service roads like the Beckler River Road and the Foss River Road-Bridge.
