About this map

Snowking Mountain dominates the high alpine landscape of this 2017 survey within the Mount Baker National Forest. This terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial basins and high-elevation water bodies, including the tiered Upper Jordan Lake and Lower Jordan Lake systems. The map details a complex hydrological pattern where Boulder Cr, Otter Cr, and Illabot Cr drain the steep slopes of summits like Razorback Mtn and Mt Chaval.

Evidence of the area's geological character is found in the scattered lakes that dot the peaks, from the remote Cyclone Lake in the southeast to Buller Lake in the northwest corner. While human infrastructure is minimal, limited to the Illabot Creek Rd in the southwest, the map provides precise locations for numerous named alpine features such as Whale Lake, Arrowhead Lake, and Found Lake, essential for understanding the high-country geography of this part of Skagit County.
