About this map

Blewett Pass serves as the high-elevation pivot point between the Chelan and Kittitas county lines within the Wenatchee National Forest. This 2003 revision captures a landscape defined by its alpine meadows and rugged drainage networks, where the Wenatchee Mountains meet Table Mountain. High-altitude clearings like Swauk Meadow, Tronsen Meadow, and Haney Meadow dot the ridges, providing critical open space amidst the dense forest.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is visible through numerous Prospects and individual Prospect markings scattered near the upper reaches of Swauk Creek. The map also details recreational and conservation footprints, from the Ken Wilcox Horse Camp to the northern edge of the Colockum State Wildlife Area. This era of the forest is marked by a complex system of Forest Service roads and trails that connect peaks like Mount Lillian and Diamond Head to vital water sources such as Lion Rock Spring.
