About this map

Kachess Dam and the waters of Little Kachess Lake dominate this high-elevation landscape, where the Kachess River flows south toward Lake Easton. This region of the Wenatchee National Forest is marked by complex water management and recreational infrastructure, including Forest Camp Kachess and the Kachess Campground. The topography is defined by prominent peaks such as Thorp Mountain and Frenchman Mountain, with the Thorp Mountain Lookout providing a high-point vantage over the Thorp Lake basin.

Transportation and utility routes are centered around the southern corridor, where the Easton State Airport and Easton Sno-Park sit near the confluence of the Yakima River and Hudson Creek. The eastern edge of the map shows the rugged descent toward Cle Elum Lake, intersected by a network of forest development roads like Nat For Dev Rd 111 and Nat For Dev Rd 4818, which trace the drainage of French Cabin Creek and Silver Creek.
