About this map

Cashmere centers this landscape as a hub of industry and transport along the southern bank of the Wenatchee River in the late 1960s. The town's layout reflects a dense grid of residential streets like Dorn Street and Tigner Road, flanked by the Burlington Northern railroad and the Sunset Highway. This region is defined by its complex water management systems, including the High Line Canal, Icicle Canal, and a siphon, essential for the orchard-heavy valleys surrounding the town.

North of the river, the terrain rises sharply into the Wenatchee National Forest and the State Wildlife Area. Notable peaks such as Tibbetts Mtn and Burch Mountain dominate the northern quadrangle, while deeply incised drainages like Nahahum Canyon and Warner Canyon provide natural corridors through the highlands. Local community infrastructure is well-marked, from the County Fairground and a small Landing Strip to the town Cemetery and multiple school buildings.
