What the map shows

  • Rainier is a stratovolcano and the highest peak in the Cascades, at about 4,392 m. It carries more glacier ice than any other peak in the contiguous United States.
  • Glaciers and rivers flow outward from the summit in every direction. The Carbon, White, Nisqually, Puyallup, and Cowlitz drainages start on its slopes.
  • Elevation is drawn as filled bands. Glaciers mapped in OpenStreetMap are left as empty space, so the ice reads as the shape of the mountain.
