About this map

The town of Chelan serves as the hub of this Washington landscape, where the outflow of Lake Chelan meets the Columbia River to the south. The 2011 survey reveals a complex interface between water and infrastructure, notably at the Lake Chelan Dam and the Woodin Avenue Bridge which connects the lakeside community. Significant maritime and transit nodes are visible along the shoreline, including the Chelan Ferry Landing and the Lady of the Lake Commercial Dock, indicating the lake's role as a primary transportation corridor.

Away from the water, the terrain rises sharply toward Chelan Butte, while the lower elevations near the Columbia are marked by the agricultural or transit-related settlements of Stayman and Dover Flat. The map documents residential growth in areas like Lake Chelan Hills and recreational developments such as the Lake Chelan Golf Course. For those researching local heritage, the Chelan Fraternal Cemetery and smaller gulches like Purtteman Gulch provide specific geographical anchors for lineage and history.
