About this map

Jack Ridge and the Wenatchee Mountains define this high-altitude landscape along the border of Chelan County and Kittitas County. This 2003 revision reflects a region dominated by the Alpine Lakes Wilderness and Wenatchee National Forest, where steep ridgelines like Blackjack Ridge and Sixtysix Hundred Ridge separate deep drainage basins. Water flows through a network of creeks including Icicle Creek, Jack Creek, and Eightmile Creek, which provided the primary corridors for travel in this backcountry.

Evidence of human activity is primarily limited to resource management and recreation, marked by the Icicle Creek Trail and a Guard Station near Chatter Creek. The presence of Prospects in the southern portion of the map near Van Epps Creek hints at the area's mineral exploration history. Peaks such as Bootjack Mountain and Eightmile Mountain serve as prominent landmarks for navigating the complex terrain between Cradle Lake and Trout Lake.
