About this map

The Cle Elum River and Waptus River converge in this high-elevation landscape within the Wenatchee National Forest. During the late 1980s, the area served as a focal point for backcountry management and recreation, anchored by the Salmon la Sac F S Station and nearby sites like Cayuse Campground and Salmon la Sac Campground. This survey identifies modern utility infrastructure, such as a Water Treatment Plant and Sewage Disposal Pond, supporting the local forest service operations.

Beyond the river valleys, the terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Davis Peak and Goat Mountain, with the Alpine Lakes Wilderness protecting much of the western reaches. High alpine basins hold isolated water bodies like Lake Michael and Opal Lake. Evidence of prospecting remains visible near Fortune Creek, where several Adits are marked, indicating the history of mineral exploration in the shadow of Huckleberry Mountain.
