About this map

Snoqualmie Pass serves as the central focal point of this high-altitude landscape, where interstate transit meets alpine recreation. The crossing is flanked by the Snoqualmie National Forest and Wenatchee National Forest, defined by a cluster of ski developments including Alpental, Ski Acres, and the Snoqualmie Summit Ski Area. This 2014 survey documents the complex infrastructure of the pass, from the historic Snoqualmie Tunnel and the modern course of State Hwy 906 to the northern reaches of Keechelus Lake.

Deep in the backcountry, the terrain is dotted with high-mountain lakes such as Gem Lake, Melakwa Lake, and Lower Wildcat Lake. Significant landmarks for mountaineers and historians alike include the Granite Mountain Lookout and the Goldmyer Hot Springs along the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River. The map traces the winding path of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it traverses over Hemlock Pass and past the distinctive spire of The Tooth, recording the intersection of natural wilderness and the corridor's long history as a mountain gateway.
