1949 Map of Holden

About this map

Holden serves as the industrial and social anchor of this high-elevation landscape, situated along Railroad Creek near the massive copper-mining operations of the Holden Mine. In the late 1940s, this region was a critical node of extraction and activity within the Chelan National Forest, where the presence of the Glacier Peak Mines and the Red Mountain Mine near Trinity reflect the era's reliance on mineral wealth. The map documents a rugged alpine environment defined by glaciers like the Luman Glacier and Entiat Glacier, alongside essential fire detection points such as the Carne Mtn Lookout. A network of footpaths, including the Phelps Ridge Trail and Little Giant Trail, provided the primary access through the surrounding Wenatchee National Forest, connecting remote outposts like Grou Camp to the industrial hubs.
