About this map

Lake Wenatchee and the surrounding peaks of the Chiwaukum Mountains dominate this 2020 landscape in the Wenatchee National Forest. The map documents a rugged section of Chelan County where the White River and Little Wenatchee River feed into the lake's western shore near the small settlement of Telma. To the south, the community of Merritt sits along the corridor formed by Nason Creek, a vital drainage that separates the high elevations of Nason Ridge from the southern peaks like Round Mtn.

This modern survey provides a clear look at the drainage patterns of alpine lakes such as Lake Ethel, Hidden Lake, and Dirtyface Lake. The terrain is defined by extreme elevation changes, from the lake shore up to Dirtyface Mtn and Pole Ridge. This area serves as a primary gateway for mountain access, showing the interface between the Wenatchee National Forest boundaries and local access roads like 207.
