About this map

Blewett Pass serves as the central crossing through the Wenatchee Mountains, marking the high-altitude boundary between Chelan and Kittitas counties. This alpine terrain is defined by a network of seasonal recreation routes and forest infrastructure within the Wenatchee National Forest. The map documents a landscape oriented around natural landmarks and high ridges, including Tronsen Ridge, Mission Ridge, and the prominent Table Mountain.

Evidence of historical land use and travel is preserved in labels like Old Ellensburg and the Dunning Ranch (Snow), while high-elevation meadows such as Naneum Meadow and Haney Meadow indicate the open spaces between the dense timber. The presence of the Swauk Forest Discovery and Swauk Campground (Snow) highlights the modern evolution of this area from a rugged mountain transit corridor to a dedicated recreational and ecological zone.
