1965 Map of Stevens Pass

About this map

Stevens Pass Guard Station sits at the snowy divide of the Cascade Range, marking a critical passage for both the Burlington Northern railroad and mountain travelers. This survey captures the transition from the mid-century era to the establishment of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, featuring the engineering feat of the Cascade Tunnel beneath Big Chief Mtn. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of glacial basins and high-elevation waters, including Josephine Lake, Lake Susan Jane, and the Thunder Mtn Lakes.
