2014 Map of Chelan

About this map

Lake Chelan serves as the focal point for this region, where the town of Chelan sits at its eastern tip where the Chelan River begins its short descent. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the water to high surrounding terrain, including the prominent Chelan Butte and deep incisions like Purtteman Gulch and Knapp Coulee. Transportation and recreation are central to the area's identity, evidenced by the Chelan - Lucerne Ferry Crossing and the Lady-of-the-Lake Commercial Dock. Along the southern border, the Columbia River carves a separate path near Stayman and Dover Flat. This map captures a developed lakefront economy with established neighborhoods like Lakeside and Lake Chelan Hills, and the Chelan Fraternal Cem providing a site for genealogical research near Cagle Gulch.
