About this map

Alta Coulee and the river-carved benches of the Columbia River dominate this late-1960s landscape at the meeting of Chelan, Douglas, and Okanogan counties. The settlement of Azwell sits along the eastern shore, a hub of activity adjacent to the Burlington Northern railroad line. The map captures a significant era of water management and hydroelectric progress, clearly delineating the reservoir levels of Lake Pateros and Lake Entiat.

Upland from the river, the terrain rises into the Okanogan National Forest and Wenatchee National Forest, where features like Arbuckle Mountain and Highland Bench define the local topography. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet provides exact locations for several family-named landmarks and water sources, including Dan Williams Spring, Bonnie Merrill Spring, and Goosman Flats, alongside recreation-focused sites like Evergreen Camp and a Picnic Area near Green Lake.
