About this map

Entiat River carves a deep path through the Entiat Valley in this late 1960s study, updated with photorevisions in the 1980s. The small settlement of Ardenvoir serves as the primary outpost in a landscape dominated by the Wenatchee National Forest and the Entiat State Wildlife Area. This area of central Washington exhibits a specialized mountain economy and conservation footprint, featuring a Fish Hatchery along the river and the Steliko Lookout Tower perched on the heights to the north.

Transport and public utility are concentrated along the Entiat River Road, which connects various canyon drainages like Crum Canyon and Mills Canyon. Genealogists and local historians will find the Entiat Cem located on the valley floor, while outdoor recreation is noted at the Prairie Spring Campground. The map preserves the specific locations of numerous springs and water sources, including Byers Canyon Spring No 1 and Cherry Spring, which were vital for fire management and wildlife in this timber-heavy region.
