About this map

Mount Rainier National Park dominates this 1971 survey, showing the intricate glacier systems and alpine features of the mountain's northeast flank. The massive Winthrop Glacier and Emmons Glacier carve deep into the terrain, separated by The Wedge. Evidence of early human presence in these high elevations is marked by a Mine at Glacier Basin, while the burgeoning recreational infrastructure of the early 1970s is visible at the Sunrise development.

Key landmarks for backcountry navigation include the Mt Fremont Lookout and various shelters along the Wonderland Trail and Northern Loop Trail. The map details transition zones from the Snoqualmie National Forest into high parks like Grand Park and Berkeley Park. High-altitude lakes such as Shadow Lake, Frozen Lake, and Lake James dot the landscape, alongside administrative outposts including the Ranger Station and a Patrol Cabin near Windy Gap.
