About this map

Stevens Pass serves as the central focal point for this survey, marking the vital mountain crossing at the boundary of Wenatchee National Forest and Snoqualmie National Forest. The map documents a dense network of high-altitude water bodies and peaks, from the northern cluster of Grace Lakes and Summit Lake near Cowboy Mtn to the southern reaches of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.

Transit through this challenging terrain is defined by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl, which winds past Hope Lake and Trap Lake. The presence of the Tunnel Creek rail corridor near the pass illustrates the historical and modern engineering required to breach the Cascades. Hydrological patterns are clearly established by the headwaters of Icicle Creek and Leland Creek, while prominent geological formations like The Barrier and Bulls Tooth anchor the landscape for hikers and geographers studying the region's wilderness character.
