About this map

Lake Chelan dominates this landscape, its waters filling a deep glacial trough within the Wenatchee National Forest. This 1968 field-checked map records the lake at its normal pool elevation of 1098 feet, showing the ferry route that remains the primary lifeline for this roadless mountain terrain. The eastern shore is defined by the steep rises of Big Goat Mtn and Little Goat Mtn, while the southwestern banks are notched by small havens like Graham Harbor and Deep Harbor.

Wilderness recreation is centered around several established sites along the shoreline, including Graham Harbor Campground and Big Creek Campground. Inland, the map traces a pack trail winding through the high country toward Uno Peak, reflecting the area's continued reliance on primitive transport networks. The topography is exceptionally steep, dropping from summits like Big Hill directly into the fjord-like waters of the lake.
