About this map

Alpine Lakes Wilderness and the Wenatchee National Forest dominate this high-elevation landscape, where the Stuart Range and Wenatchee Mountains meet. The area is defined by a dense concentration of subalpine water bodies, including Colchuck Lake, Lake Stuart, and the Enchantment Basin chain which features Inspiration Lake and Leprechaun Lake. Glacial activity is evident at the Colchuck Glacier, situated beneath Colchuck Peak and Dragontail Peak.

South of the wilderness boundary, the terrain transitions into the Leavenworth Cle Elum Ranger District, marked by steep drainages like Ingalls Creek and Stafford Creek. Evidence of early mineral exploration remains visible via an Adit located near the Gold Creek basin. The map provides a detailed view of the complex topography between Chelan and Kittitas Counties, showing the network of ridges and passes such as Prusik Pass that connect these remote basins.
