About this map

The Stuart Range and the Wenatchee Mountains dominate this high-elevation terrain in the central Cascades, where steep ridges and deep drainages define the landscape. Centered near Blewett, the map illustrates a region managed for conservation and resource extraction, with the Alpine Lakes Wilderness protecting the northwest corner and the Wenatchee National Forest encompassing much of the remaining territory.

Hydrological features are central to the area's character, from the National Fish Hatchery near Nada Lake and Snow Lakes to the network of creeks including Peshastin Creek and Ingalls Creek. Mineral exploration is evident through several noted prospects and a prospect located near Culver Creek. The boundary between Chelan and Kittitas counties runs across the southern peaks, marking a divide between the drainages of the North Shaser Creek and the surrounding high summits.
