About this map

Cooper Ridge and the high country of the Wenatchee National Forest dominate this late 1960s survey, illustrating the rugged landscape north of the Lake Chelan shoreline. The map documents a complex network of Jeep Trails and mountain summits like Goff Peak and Washington Butte, contrasting with the more developed agricultural and residential foothills near the water.

In the southern portion of the quadrangle, a distinct transition appears as the forest boundary gives way to named roads and rural infrastructure. Local family names and early routes are preserved through labels like Purtteman Road, Swartout Road, and Winesap Road. The presence of an Aqueduct and multiple Gravel Pit locations near Union Valley suggests the importance of water management and local materials in the development of this Chelan County terrain.
