1966 Map of White Chuck Mtn.

About this map

Mt Baker National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Snohomish County, centered on the confluence of the White Chuck River and the Sauk River. In the mid-1960s, the area served primarily as a recreational and resource-rich corridor, accessed via the Mountain Loop Road. The map reveals a high concentration of alpine water bodies, including White Chuck Lakes, Thornton Lake, and Peek-a-boo Lake, alongside several unnamed quarries and gravel pits that underscore the maintenance of the mountain road system. Significant topographic transitions are marked by Rat Trap Pass and Stujack Pass, which provided critical passage through the steep terrain. This survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of numerous creeks like Straight Creek and Dutch Creek, which feed into the main river arteries, and locates established sites such as the White Chuck Campgrounds and a riverside Gaging Station.
