2020 Map of Sloan Peak

About this map

Sloan Peak rises prominently within the Mount Baker National Forest, serving as the focal point for this wilderness survey of Snohomish County. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where deep valleys carved by the N Fork Sauk River and Elliot Creek separate high ridges like Lost Creek Ridge and Pilot Ridge. High-altitude alpine features are a hallmark of this terrain, including Goat Lake, Cadet Lake, and Sunup Lake, many of which feed the intricate network of drainages such as Merry Brook and Bedal Creek. The map also captures the protected waters of the Skagit Wild and Scenic River, highlighting the conservation status of these headwaters. This document is essential for those studying the topography of the North Cascades, documenting specific peaks like Bedal Peak and Ira Spring Mtn alongside the natural passes of Bingley Gap.
