About this map

Mount Baker National Forest contains the sharp topography and watershed network of the northern Cascades, defined here by the confluence of the Sauk River and the White Chuck River. This 2014 survey captures a landscape of intense relief and outdoor utility, where the Mountain Loop Hwy provides the primary access to the backcountry. Notable recreational infrastructure includes the White Chuck Campground and a specialized Whitewater Launch along the riverbanks, reflecting the area's importance for river-based transit and modern forest management.

Elevations rise sharply toward White Chuck Mtn and across high-altitude crossings such as Rat Trap Pass and Stujack Pass. The drainage patterns are intricate, with dozens of named tributaries like Black Oak Cr and Doubtful Cr feeding the larger rivers, while isolated alpine waters like Thornton Lake and Lake Metam occupy the high basins. The map illustrates the 21st-century state of this timber-and-transit corridor within the National Forest System.
