1949 Map of Holden

About this map

Holden Mine serves as the industrial anchor for this mountainous region, located at the terminus of a road following Railroad Creek. The mining settlement of Holden is mapped in detail, including a designated Recreational Area and various benchmarks. Further south, the settlement of Trinity sits near the confluence of Chiwawa River and Buck Creek, marking another hub of activity near the Red Mountain Mine. The map captures a high-altitude wilderness defined by the Entiat Mountains and the Chelan Range, where active ice fields like Lyman Glacier and Entiat Glacier feed the local watersheds.
