2004 Map of Holden

About this map

Holden sits as a significant human outpost in this high-altitude landscape, shaped largely by the industrial operations marked at the Mine and Mines along Railroad Creek. The presence of Tailings, Prospects, and Sewage Disp Ponds indicates the specialized infrastructure required for this remote mountain community. Surrounding the settlement, the terrain is dominated by massive peaks and glacial systems, including the Isella Glacier, Mary Green Glacier, and Company Glacier near Bonanza Peak. The boundaries of the Glacier Peak Wilderness and Wenatchee National Forest intersect here, preserving a landscape where the Entiat River originates from the Entiat Glacier and flows toward River Meadows. This map captures the intersection of heavy industrial extraction and protected wilderness at the start of the 21st century.
