About this map

Mount Baker National Forest dominates this high-altitude topography, defined by its massive peaks and active glacial systems in the North Cascades. The map center is anchored by the dual summits of Whitehorse Mtn and Three Fingers, where the So-Bahli-Alhi Glacier and Queest-alb Glacier remain prominent features. These ice-carved landforms feed a complex drainage network, including the Boulder River and Squire Cr, which flow through steep basins like Wellman Basin and Sill Basin.

For the modern hiker or historian, the map details the high-country access points such as Squire Creek Pass, Windy Pass, and the transit through Tin Can Gap. The western portion of the sheet highlights the transition from the high ridges of Boulder Ridge and Whitehorse Ridge down to the mountain streams of Sevenmile Cr and Gershman Cr. These labels reflect a landscape where the terrain is the primary historical actor, shaping the travel routes and conservation boundaries of Snohomish County.
