About this map

Entiat River carves through the southern portion of this region, providing a primary drainage corridor for the surrounding Chelan Mountains. Situated within the Wenatchee National Forest, the landscape is defined by its network of high-elevation ridges and water sources, including the distinct Lower Pawn Lake and Upper Pawn Lake basin. This 1960s survey illustrates a wilderness utilized for recreation and resource management, marked by several remote campgrounds and primitive transport routes.

A primitive infrastructure of Pack Trail and Jeep Trail paths connects landmarks like Crescent Hill and the Devils Backbone. Along the river, localized activity is noted by a Gravel Pit and river mile markers, while numerous mountain streams such as McCrea Creek and Brennegan Creek feed into the main valley. The presence of Preston Falls and Hazel Camp indicates established points of interest for backcountry travelers during this era.
