1989 Map of Enchantment Lakes

About this map

The Stuart Range dominates this late-twentieth-century study of the high Cascades, where the Alpine Lakes Wilderness protects a dense concentration of glacial features and high-altitude water bodies. Within the Enchantment Lakes Basin, numerous small lakes such as Lake Viviane, Leprechaun Lake, and Inspiration Lake are clustered beneath granite summits like McClellan Peak and The Temple. The map illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the region, from the Colchuck Glacier feeding Colchuck Lake to the headwaters of Ingalls Creek. This 1980s edition captures the area's transition into a strictly managed wilderness zone, with the boundary between Chelan and Kittitas counties crossing the southern Wenatchee Mountains. To the northeast, the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery indicates the intersection of these remote peaks with federal conservation efforts along the Snow Lakes drainage.
