The quadrangle is mostly rugged and remote and includes much of the North Cascade National Park and several dedicated Wilderness areas managed by the U.S. Forest Service. Geologic exploration has been slow and difficult. In 1858 George Gibbs (1874) ascended the Skagit River part way to begin the geographic and geologic exploration of the North Cascades. In 1901, Reginald Daly (1912) surveyed the 49th parallel along the Canadian side of the border, and George Smith and Frank Calkins (1904) surveyed the United States' side. Daly's exhaustive report was the first attempt to synthesize what has become an extremely complicated geologic story.

    National Park Service North Cascades National Park Service Complex U.S. Department of the Interior Stephen Mather Wilderness An Enduring Legacy of Wilderness “[I]t is hereby declared to be the policy of the Congress to secure for the American people of present and future generations the benefits of an enduring resource of wilderness.” — Wilderness Act, 1964 The North Cascades National Park Complex includes 684,000 acres in three units: North Cascades National Park, Lake Chelan National Recre- ation Area, and Ross Lake National Recreation Area. Congress has designated 94% of the Complex as the Stephen Mather Wilderness. Today, as in the past, wilderness is an important part of every American’s story. People seek out wilderness for a variety of reasons: physical or mental challenge; solitude, renewal, or a respite from modern life; or as a place to find inspiration and to explore our heritage. What draws you to visit wilderness? The Stephen Mather Wilderness is at the heart of over two million acres of some of the wildest lands remaining, a place “where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man….” Untrammeled (meaning“free of restraint,” “unconfined”) captures the essence of wilderness: a place where the natural processes of the land prevail, and the developments of modern technological society are substantially unnoticeable. Here, we are visitors, but we also come home—to our natural heritage. It is a place to experience our past, and a place to find future respite. This is the enduring legacy of wilderness. To Hope, B.C.

  • Water Supply Outlook for Washington and Federal-State-Private
    Historic, Archive Document Do not assume content reflects current scientific knowledge, policies, or practices. S. ul'vv^. 3 /^ mm SUPPLY OUTLOOK POP WASHINGTON is,.# U. S. DEPARTMENT of AGRICULTURE SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE Collaborating with AS DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY STATE OF WASHINGTON MAY 1,1975 Data included in this report were obtained by the aftencies named above in cooperation with Federal, State and private organizations listed inside the back cover of this report. TO RECIPIENTS OF WATER SUPPLY OUTLOOK REPORTS: Most of the usable water in western states originates as mountain snowfall . This snowfall accumulates during the winter and spring, several months before the snow melts and appears as streamflaw. Since the runoff from precipitation as snow is delayed, estimates of snowmelt runoff can be made well in advance of its occurrence. Streamflow forecasts published In this report are based principally on measurement of the water equivalent bf the mountain snowpack. Forecasts become more accurate as more of the data affecting runoff are measured. All forecasts assume that climatic factors during the remainder of the snow accumulation and melt season will Interact with a resultant average effect on runoff. Early season forecasts are therefore subject to a greater change than those made on later dates. The snow course measurement is obtained by sampling snow depth and water equivalent at surveyed and marked locations In mountain areas. A total of about ten samples are taken at each location. The average of these are reported as snow depth and water equivalent. These measurements are repeated in the same location near the same dates each year.
