About this map

White Chuck River and Sauk River converge in this high-elevation reach of the Cascade Range, as documented during a mid-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by its steep glaciated drainages and recreational infrastructure within the Mt Baker National Forest. Human presence is concentrated primarily along the Mountain Loop Road, where the White Chuck Campgrounds and a river Gaging Station serve travelers and researchers.

Evidence of resource exploration and high-country transit appears in the form of a Prospect near Dutch Creek and named crossings such as Rat Trap Pass and Stujack Pass. Remote alpine hydrology is a central feature, with groups of high-altitude water bodies like the White Chuck Lakes, Thornton Lake, Goodman Lake, and the aptly named Peek-a-boo Lake dotting the terrain beneath the spire of White Chuck Mtn.
