About this map

Lake Chelan dominates this 1960s landscape, its waters reaching a normal pool elevation of 1098 as it cuts through the heart of the Wenatchee National Forest. Access to this stretch of the lake is defined by the ferry route, which connects remote landmarks like Graham Harbor and Safety Harbor. The topography is marked by steep peaks such as Uno Peak and Big Goat Mtn, with narrow drainages like Lune Fir Creek and Big Goat Creek feeding into the lake.

Remote recreational sites are clustered along the shoreline and high ridges, including Graham Harbor Campground and the high-elevation Big Hill Campground. A historic pack trail traverses the slopes near Little Goat Mtn, illustrating the rugged transportation network used to navigate the wilderness before extensive modern road development. The map also identifies local landmarks such as Little Joe and Barney Zell Ridge, providing specific points of reference for those tracing the history of land use and naming conventions in Chelan County.
