2023 Map of Kachess Lake

About this map

Easton serves as the primary hub in this mountain corridor, situated where the Yakima River feeds into Lake Easton. The landscape is dominated by the steep topography of the Wenatchee National Forest, with Kachess Lake stretching northward into a labyrinth of peaks and timbered basins. The map captures a complex network of recreational and historic paths, including the Iron Horse Trl following the old rail grade and the Kachess Ridge Trl tracing the high ground east of the water. High-elevation points like Thorp Mtn and Amabilis Mtn anchor the ridgelines, while the Easton State Airport provides a modern navigational landmark in the valley floor. The geography here illustrates the intersection of vital water resources and the transport routes that have historically connected the Cascades to the eastern plains.
