1968 Map of Cooper Ridge

About this map

Mountainous ridges and drainage basins define this 1968 survey of the high country north of Lake Chelan. The landscape is bisected by the boundary between the Wenatchee National Forest and the Okanogan National Forest, with significant terrain markers such as Goff Peak and Washington Butte rising above the watershed. To the south, the terrain transitions into a more developed ranching and agricultural zone, where the network of Boyd Allotment Road and Klaz Allotment Road serves the upland pastures and canyons. The presence of an Aqueduct and multiple reservoirs suggests the critical importance of water management in this high-elevation environment. Detailed trail systems, including various Jeep Trails and Cooper Mtn Road, trace the ridgelines of Cooper Ridge, illustrating how the region was navigated for forestry and land management in the late 1960s.
