2017 Map of Sugarloaf Peak

About this map

The Entiat Mountains dominate this section of the Wenatchee National Forest, where a high-elevation drainage system feeds the Mad River. The landscape is defined by its steep ridges and peaks, most notably Sugarloaf Peak and Maverick Peak, which serve as prominent navigational landmarks in this corner of the Cascades. Deep within the drainage, the Lower Mad River winds through narrow valleys, flanked by family-named and topographic features like McDonald Ridge and Billy Ridge. Forest access is facilitated by a network of service roads, including the Entiat Summit Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 6104 Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between the peaks and lower meadows. Small seasonal water sources like Jimmy Creek and Billy Creek branch off the main river system, while Morrow Meadow provides a rare break in the vertical topography near Maverick Saddle.
