About this map

Gifford Pinchot National Forest dominates this high-country terrain, where the headwaters of the Lewis River and several major forks of Trout Lake Creek carve through the Cascade landscape. The area is defined by its significant elevation changes, from the prominent Steamboat Mtn in the southwest to Quartz Creek Ridge along the northern boundary. This portion of the Mount Adams Wilderness is characterized by remote alpine meadows like Mulligan Meadow and Grand Meadows, which offer insights into the traditional high-altitude grazing and transit patterns of the region.

Transportation through this wilderness relies on a network of established paths, including the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl and the historic Randle-Trout Lake corridor. The presence of Little Fish Lake and Steamboat Lake suggests a landscape of glacial depressions, while the designation of the White Salmon Wild and Scenic River reflects the preservation of the area's pristine hydrology. This map serves as a vital record of the trails and natural landmarks that guide travel through these protected forests.
