About this map

Emmons Glacier and Winthrop Glacier dominate the high-altitude landscape of Mount Rainier National Park in this 1971 topographic survey. The area is characterized by the convergence of massive ice flows and high mountain basins, including Glacier Basin where a noted Mine and various Ruins suggest historical activity amidst the peaks. The northeastern section transitions into the Snoqualmie National Forest, marked by Lake Eleanor and its associated campground.

Infrastructure for recreation and park management is well-documented, featuring the Sunrise Park visitor hub at Yakima Park, multiple shelters, and a Ranger Station. Trails such as the Wonderland Trail and Northern Loop Trail connect remote landmarks like Mt Fremont Lookout and the Lake James Patrol Cabin. The detailed hydrography includes the West Fork White River and Huckleberry Creek, illustrating the complex drainage patterns from the glaciers through Grand Park and Cold Basin.
