2014 Map of Snowking Mountain

About this map

Snowking Mtn dominates the high-altitude landscape of this part of the Mount Baker National Forest in Washington. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of alpine water bodies, including the tiered Upper Jordan Lake and Lower Jordan Lake systems, and the clustered Upper Granite Lake and Lower Granite Lake. These features reflect a glacial geography where high ridges like Razorback Mtn and Mt Chaval separate deep drainages. Multiple watercourses such as Illabot Cr, Jordan Cr, and Found Cr descend from these peaks, illustrating the complex hydrological network of the North Cascades. For the researcher, the map captures the wilderness state of the forest in the early twenty-first century, showing the remote locations of Slide Lake, Cyclone Lake, and Whale Lake far from established road networks, emphasizing the area's character as a high-mountain preserve.
