About this map

The Wenatchee River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and agriculture in this 2017 study of the northern Cascades foothills. The city of Cashmere is the central hub, surrounded by a complex network of irrigation infrastructure including the Icicle Canal and the Reclamation Ditch Rd. These systems support the valley's development, which is bounded by the steep slopes of the Entiat Mountains to the north and numerous dramatic drainages such as Nahahum Canyon and Hay Canyon.

Transportation and infrastructure are clearly defined, from the Cashmere-Dryden Airport to the historic crossings at Goodwin Road Bridge and West Monitor Bridge. The northern half of the map is dominated by the Wenatchee National Forest, where labels for Burch Mtn and Tibbetts Mtn mark the high points above a web of forest service roads like Entiat Summit Rd. This map captures the intersection of industrial water management, aviation, and mountain wilderness.
