2014 Map of Sun Top

About this map

The Dalles and the high-elevation terrain of Snoqualmie National Forest define this landscape along the King and Pierce county line. The corridor is anchored by the White River, where recreation and institutional sites like Camp Sheppard Boy Scout Camp, Seattle University Lodge, and Alta Crystal Chalets sit near the base of the mountain slopes. The transport network is dominated by the Chinook Pass Hwy and State Hwy 410, which provide access to the The Dalles Recreation Area and the remote Ranger Creek Airport. Prominent peaks and ridges, including Sun Top with its Sun Top Viewpoint and the long expanse of Dalles Ridge, overlook a drainage system of creeks like Huckleberry Creek and Skookum Cr. This 2014 survey documents the modern layout of these alpine recreation and forest service lands before more recent environmental changes.
