About this map

Lake Entiat dominates this Columbia River corridor, marking the landscape where Chelan and Douglas counties meet. The settlement of Entiat is clustered on the western bank, featuring local infrastructure like a Fire Sta, a RR Station along the Burlington Northern line, and Will Risk Memorial Park. Across the water in Douglas County, the community of Orondo serves as a rural hub with the Orondo Sch, Orondo Community Cem, and a Grange Hall situated near the foot of Pine Canyon.

Industry and land management are evident through numerous Borrow Pits and the expansive Entiat State Wildlife Area. The geography transitions sharply from the Entiat River valley and its tributary canyons like McLeish Canyon to the high, arid expanse of the Waterville Plateau. This 1968 survey, later updated in the 1980s, captures the post-dam river environment and the established fruit-growing and transport networks of the mid-century period.
