2017 Map of Sleeping Beauty

About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest defines the character of this 2017 survey, where a high-elevation landscape is navigated by a complex network of forest development roads. The terrain is marked by distinctive prominences like Sleeping Beauty and Peterson Ridge, alongside the volcanic and glacial topography of the Twin Buttes. Water is a defining element throughout the quadrangle, from the concentrated clusters of Surprise Lakes and Hidden Lake to the course of Trout Lake Creek and the vertical drop of Langfield Falls. This modern record of the Cascade Range shows the preservation of significant recreational infrastructure, notably the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it winds through the western half. The map also captures specialized mountain meadows such as Grand Meadows and Deadhorse Meadow, which have served as seasonal landmarks for travelers and forest managers for generations.
