1998 Map of Walupt Lake

About this map

Walupt Lake lies at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the Gifford Pinchot National Forest meets the Yakama Indian Reservation. This late-twentieth-century revision illustrates the intersection of recreation and conservation within the Goat Rocks Wilderness, anchored by the massive Gilbert Peak and the surrounding Meade Glacier. The map details a complex network of glacial meltwater sources, including Goat Creek and the Cispus River, which drain the steep ridgelines of Nannie Ridge. Notable sites like Alpine Camp and Coleman Weedpatch indicate the area's use as a base for back-country travel, while the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds along the eastern boundary. The presence of the Indian Boundary serves as a critical historical marker, separating the protected wilderness from the reservation lands to the east.
