1965 Map of Stevens Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Stevens Pass Guard Station anchors this 1965 survey of the high-altitude divide between the Snoqualmie and Wenatchee National Forests. The landscape is dominated by the engineering legacy of the Great Northern railroad, which utilizes a massive tunnel beneath the ridgeline to bypass the formidable terrain of Big Chief Mtn and Cowboy Mtn. The transition from rail-and-timber industry to recreation is visible through the Stevens Pass ski area and the networks of the Cascade Crest Trail and various pack trails that connect high alpine waters like Josephine Lake and Lake Lorraine. The presence of Bark Cabin along Icicle Creek suggests the era's backcountry management, while landmarks like The Barrier and Bulls Tooth reflect the distinctive nomenclature of the Central Cascades wilderness at the King and Chelan County border.
