About this map

Holden sits deep in the North Cascades, serving as the primary human settlement in this high-elevation mountain terrain. The 2017 survey details a landscape dominated by the peaks and basins of the Wenatchee National Forest, where steep drainages like Railroad Creek and Copper Creek have carved deep valleys. The map documents significant alpine features such as the Entiat Mountains and Bonanza Peak, alongside recreational and historic paths like the Miner's Interp and Miner's Goat trails.

Lower elevations are marked by the Entiat River headwaters, which pass through the wide Entiat Meadows. Notable water features including Holden Lake, Hart Lake, and the remote Ice Lakes dot the high country, while several named waterfalls, such as 10 Mile Falls and Copper Falls, highlight the verticality of the terrain. The presence of multiple land blocks like PB 37 and PB 39 near the settlement reflects the unique land management history of this mountain community.
