2017 Map of Lake Wenatchee

About this map

Lake Wenatchee dominates the central landscape of this Chelan County region, where the glacial waters are fed by the White River and the Little Wenatchee River. Set within the protected boundaries of the Wenatchee National Forest, the map illustrates a complex network of high-elevation terrain including Nason Ridge, Dirtyface Mtn, and the northern edge of the Chiwaukum Mountains. Small settlements such as Telma on the north shore and Merritt near the southern boundary provide a human footprint amidst the wilderness. The drainage patterns of Nason Creek and Kahler Cr are clearly visible, illustrating how the topography dictates the path of local infrastructure like State Hwy 207 and Gill Creek Rd. From the high alpine waters of Lake Ethel to the dense timberlands, the map documents the geographic relationship between the water-level communities and the surrounding mountain summits.
