About this map

Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery anchors the northeastern corner of this high-altitude landscape, situated along the drainages that flow from the Stuart Range. This 2020 survey details the intricate hydrology of the Enchantment Basin, where a series of interconnected alpine bodies including Inspiration Lake, Perfection Lake, and Leprechaun Lake feed into the Snow Creek system. The terrain is defined by extreme relief and glacial features, notably the Snow Creek Glacier and the jagged summits of Dragontail Peak and Little Annapurna.

The central portion of the map is dominated by the Wenatchee National Forest, illustrating a complex network of creeks such as Ingalls Creek and Stafford Creek that carve through the Wenatchee Mountains. Significant granite formations like The Temple and Prusik Peak highlight the geological character of the region, while the Chelan and Kittitas county line bisects the southern peaks near Earl Peak, marking a jurisdictional boundary in the high country.
