About this map

Stevens Pass serves as the central focal point for this high-altitude landscape, where the boundary between Snoqualmie National Forest and Wenatchee National Forest follows the crest. The map illustrates a complex history of alpine transit, specifically the successive engineering feats of the Old Cascade Tunnel, the current Cascade Tunnel, and the New Cascade Tunnel. These rail corridors cut through the granite beneath peaks like Cowboy Mtn and Big Chief Mtn, marking the primary crossing for the regional railroad infrastructure.

Modern recreation is represented by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which winds along the ridge past numerous high-country water bodies, including Lake Susan Jane and Josephine Lake. To the south, the terrain descends into the headwaters of Icicle Creek and Leland Cr, passing distinctive features such as Lorraine Ridge and the Bulls Tooth. This survey captures the intersection of heavy industrial transit and preserved wilderness in the early twenty-first century.
