About this map

Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest contains a dense network of glacial basins and high-elevation waters, as documented in this 1965 survey. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Miller River and Taylor River systems, where steep elevation changes create features like Otter Falls and Snoqualmie Lake Potholes. This map records the wilderness character of King County before the formal establishment of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area shown in later revisions.

Major landmarks such as Lake Dorothy and Snoqualmie Lake dominate the eastern and central reaches, while prominent summits including Treen Peak and Garfield Mtn provide vertical relief. The presence of the Dingford Creek Trail and Myrtle Lake Trail indicates the established recreational pathways used by hikers and packers during the mid-20th century. Numerous smaller bodies of water, from Gouging Lake to Nimue Lake, underscore the area's intricate hydrology.
