About this map

Blewett Pass serves as a critical high-altitude junction within the Wenatchee National Forest, marking the boundary between Chelan and Kittitas counties. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by high ridges and mountain meadows, where the headwaters of Mission Cr and Swauk Cr originate. The map documents an extensive network of Forest Service roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 9712 and the Swauk Forest Discovery trail, reflecting the modern management of these public lands for recreation and conservation.

Local landmarks such as Lion Rock, Diamond Head, and Table Mountain provide significant topographical orientation for the region. The presence of established sites like Swauk Campground and the Dunning Ranch indicates the intersection of public recreational use and private holdings. From Mission Ridge in the northeast to the Snowshoe Ridge in the southwest, the map traces the complex drainage patterns and ridgelines that characterize this portion of the Wenatchee Mountains.
