About this map

Wenatchee National Forest encompasses this high-elevation terrain where the Cle Elum River feeds into the expansive Cle Elum Lake. The landscape is defined by the sharp elevations of Sasse Ridge and Cle Elum Ridge, which channel numerous mountain streams like French Cabin Creek and Newport Creek toward the basin. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the West Fork Teanaway River and its tributaries, including Sandstone Creek and Dingbat Creek.

Human activity is centered on the lakeshore and its recreational infrastructure, including the Wish Poosh Campground, multiple Picnic Areas, and a Boat Ramp near Davis Creek. Near the southern edge of the lake, the settlement of Lakedale sits just above a Strip Mine on the slopes of the ridge, illustrating the local intersection of timber, mining, and seasonal recreation in the late twentieth century.
