About this map

Ardenvoir sits at the southwestern edge of this 2017 survey, serving as a gateway to the high elevations of the Wenatchee National Forest. The landscape is defined by the sharp rise of the Chelan Mountains, where peaks like Baldy Mountain and Forest Mtn overlook a complex network of canyons and gulches. The Entiat River drainage system is well-represented here, with numerous named springs such as Baldy Spring Number 1 and Harris Creek Spring Number 1 feeding into Harris Cr and the various forks of Mud Cr.

Resource management and access are documented through a system of forest development roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 8410 and Nat For Dev Rd 5320, which traverse the high ridges. Topographical features like Steliko Ridge and McKenzie Ridge provide natural boundaries between the deep-cut drainages of Byers Canyon and Medsker Canyon. The map records a wilderness area characterized by family-named landmarks and essential water sources, reflecting the region's geography before recent environmental changes.
