About this map

Wenatchee National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the Stuart Range forms a dramatic backdrop for the famous alpine basins of the region. The map highlights the intricate chain of the Enchantment Lakes, which descend through granite basins from Tranquil Lake and Isolation Lake down to the Lower Enchantment Lakes, including Inspiration Lake, Perfection Lake, and Lake Viviane.

Glacial features are prominent throughout the terrain, from the Colchuck Glacier and Snow Creek Glacier to the sharp profiles of Prusik Peak, Dragontail Peak, and Little Annapurna. This 2014 survey documents the complex hydrology of the area, tracing the headwaters of numerous drainages such as Ingalls Cr, Snow Lakes, and Colchuck Creek. The boundary between Chelan Co and Kittitas Co bisects the southern portion of the quadrangle, crossing high ridges near Navaho Peak and Earl Peak.
