About this map

The Entiat River cuts through the southwestern corner of this landscape, flanked by the high elevations of the Entiat Mountains and the Chelan Mountains. This 2023 survey documents a wilderness environment defined by a complex network of canyons and ridges, including McKenzie Ridge and Goman Peak. The map is particularly rich in named water sources, documenting numerous high-altitude springs such as Murdock Spring Number 1, Harris Creek Spring Number 1, and Forest Mountain Spring Number 1.

Modern management within the Wenatchee National Forest is evidenced by several established paths for backcountry navigation. Named routes such as the Murdock Gulch Trl, Switchback Canyon Trl, and Steliko Ridge Trl provide access to remote areas like Bisping Canyon and the slopes of Baldy Mtn. The detailed hydrography, including the North Fork Potato Creek and South Fork Mud Creek, illustrates the drainage patterns of the Central Washington Cascades.
