1968 Map of Chumstick Mtn

About this map

Chumstick Mtn rises as a central landmark within the high country of the Wenatchee National Forest during this 1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp drainage networks of the Entiat Mountains, where ridges like Gold Ridge, Medicine Ridge, and Mosquito Ridge separate deep creek basins. This period of the forest's history is marked by a complex system of fire and access roads, including the Medicine Tillicum Road and Entiat Summit Road, which trace the difficult terrain between water sources such as Buck Spring and Swakane Spring. The presence of the Swakane State Wildlife Area in the southern reaches indicates the region's managed transition into a protected habitat for local fauna. Mapping of features like Sourdough and Kloochman Ridge provides a precise view of the topography before later decades of further forest development, highlighting the natural corridors formed by the Mad River and Roaring Creek.
