About this map

The Entiat Mountains dominate this high-country landscape within the Wenatchee National Forest, where the terrain transitions from steep ridges to high-elevation meadows. The Chiwawa River flows along the southwestern corner, serving as a primary drainage point for numerous tributaries including Chikamin Creek and Brush Creek. This environment is characterized by its isolation, with access primarily facilitated by a network of pack trails rather than developed roads.

Relics of human activity are scattered throughout the drainage basins, including a Mine located south of Mad Lake and several established backcountry camps. Significant points of interest for historical research include Huckleberry Ford Campground and Grouse Creek Campground, which mark early recreational nodes along the river valley. The map also captures specialized terrain features like Klone Meadow, Marble Meadow, and Mad Meadow, which define the subalpine character of the northern peaks.
