About this map

Baldy Mountain and Forest Mountain dominate this high-elevation terrain in Chelan County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages and named canyons. The topographic data reveals a complex hydrology of mountain springs, including the clustered Baldy Spring Number 1 and Baldy Spring Number 2, which feed into the Stormy Creek and Gene Creek systems. To the south, the terrain drops toward the Entiat River, accessed by a series of forest service routes like Mud Creek Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named features like McKenzie Ridge, Palmich Canyon, and Goman Peak, suggesting the early ranching or settlement footprints in this area. The presence of numerous numbered springs, such as Murdock Spring Number 2 and Forest Mountain Spring Number 1, highlights the vital importance of water sources in managing this high-country territory for forestry or grazing.
