About this map

Wenatchee National Forest dominates this mid-1980s landscape, where high-elevation meadows and timbered ridges define the headwaters of the Taneum and Manastash drainages. The area is characterized by a series of named flats and meadows such as Buck Meadows, Keenan Meadows, and Frost Meadows, which historically served as vital clearings in the dense forest. Resource extraction is evident through numerous quarries and gravel pits scattered across the terrain, particularly near Taneum Point and Osborn Point.

Transportation through this high country relies on a network of rugged paths like the Taneum Ridge Trail and Case Knife Trail, following natural lines along Taneum Ridge. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the L.T. Murray State Wildlife Area, showing the management of the land for conservation and recreation. Notable water sources include Lost Lake and several springs, including Walter Spring and Tamarack Spring, which provide essential water in this elevated environment.
