2023 Map of Brief

About this map

The Wenatchee National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the Chelan Mountains, where the headwaters of the Entiat River carve through the center of the sheet. This recent survey highlights the complex drainage systems of the Lake Creek Basin and the secluded Lower Pawn Lake and Upper Pawn Lake high above the valley floor. The geography is defined by prominent high points and transitions, such as Shady Pass in the northwest and Chesapeake Saddle in the northeast, which historically served as critical navigation points through the steep terrain.
