2014 Map of Blewett Pass

About this map

Wenatchee National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of the Wenatchee Mountains, where the modern corridor of US Hwy 97 crosses the divide at Blewett Pass. This 2014 survey documents a landscape defined by sharp ridges and significant meadows, marking the boundary between Chelan and Kittitas counties. Distinctive geological landmarks like Diamond Head and Table Mtn anchor the southern portion of the sheet, while drainage networks such as Swauk Cr and Naneum Cr flow through deeply incised valleys. The map illustrates a dense concentration of mountain meadows, including Tronsen Meadow and Haney Meadow, which provide vital open spaces amidst the forested slopes. These meadows and the network of forest roads reflect the management of the land for conservation and recreation in the early 21st century.
