1968 Map of Entiat

About this map

Lake Entiat dominates the landscape of the Columbia River valley in the late 1960s, a period marked by the complex infrastructure of power and transit along the Chelan and Douglas County line. The settlement of Entiat sits at the confluence of the Entiat River, characterized by civic staples like the Fire Sta and RR Station along the Burlington Northern line. Across the water, the east bank reveals a different character, where Brays Landing Road winds toward the Waterville Plateau and the small community of Orondo. Here, local life is anchored by the Orondo School, Orondo Community Cemetery, and a nearby Grange Hall. The terrain itself tells a story of geological history, with prominent landmarks such as Ribbon Cliff and the aptly named Earthquake Point rising above the reservoir waters, while the western edge transition into the protected lands of the Wenatchee National Forest.
