2017 Map of Chelan

About this map

Lake Chelan dominates the landscape as it funnels into the Chelan River, where the community of Chelan and the adjoining settlement of Lakeside serve as the focal point of the region. The map reveals a land defined by dramatic transitions, from the residential clusters and orchards near Minneapolis Beach and Purtteman Gulch to the steep elevations of Chelan Butte. This 2017 survey details the complex road network serving the high-elevation benches and coulees, including Knapp Coulee and Daybreak Canyon. Along the southern reach of the sheet, the Columbia River flows through Lake Entiat, past the small settlements of Stayman and Dover Flat. This geography illustrates the historical importance of the river systems for both irrigation and transit, with the Woodin Avenue Bridge providing a critical link across the water at the head of the river gorge.
