About this map

Wenatchee National Forest encompasses this high-elevation wilderness in Chelan County, defined by the prominent peak of Big Jim Mtn and the long spine of Icicle Ridge. The landscape is a network of alpine basins and creek drainages, including the remote Timothy Meadow and a series of high-altitude waters such as Lake Augusta, Lake Julius, and the Big Jim Mountain Lakes. The drainage patterns are complex, with Chiwaukum Creek and Roaring Cr carving through the steep terrain.

Evidence of the area's geological character is found in labeled features like The Badlands, while human navigation is marked by ridges such as McCue Ridge. This 2014 survey serves as a detailed record of the natural hydrology and topography of the eastern Cascades, tracing the paths of numerous alpine streams like Big Slide Cr and Battle Canyon Cr as they flow from the glacial lakes toward the valleys below.
