1966 Map of Sloan Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The North Fork Sauk River carves through the high elevations of the Cascades in this mid-1960s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by its alpine hydrology and federal land management. Within the Mt Baker National Forest and the Glacier Peak Wilderness, the map traces the network of steep drainages including Sloan Creek, Elliott Creek, and Pugh Creek. High-altitude basins are dotted with clear water bodies like Goat Lake, Cadet Lake, and Ruby Lake, which sit under the shadows of Sloan Peak and Spring Mountain. Historical human presence is documented through primitive infrastructure, notably at Sloan Creek Campground and the Rainey Camp site, along with a Lookout point positioned for fire observation. The lack of improved roads and the prevalence of labeled Pack Trails reflect an era where these mountain reaches were accessible primarily by foot or animal, prior to later shifts in forest management and recreational development.
