About this map

The Middle Fork Snoqualmie Wild and Scenic River corridor dominates the southern portion of this landscape, protected within the Snoqualmie National Forest. This high-altitude region of King County is defined by a dense network of alpine lakes and dramatic elevation changes. Notable water bodies include the expansive Lake Dorothy in the northeast and Snoqualmie Lake at the center, which feeds the Taylor River.

Evidence of early accessibility is found in the Middle Fork Trail and forest service roads like NFD 6412 RD, which provide entry into a terrain marked by prominent peaks such as Cascade Mtn and Garfield Mtn. The hydrology is complex, featuring smaller basins like Lipsy Lake and Snoqualmie Lake Potholes, alongside significant cascades such as Otter Falls and Florence Falls. This survey offers a clear view of the wilderness character of the Cascades before any further modern development.
