About this map

Leavenworth and its surrounding mountain valleys are meticulously documented in this mid-century survey, showcasing the confluence of the Wenatchee River and Icicle Creek. The town is the central hub for the region's recreation and infrastructure, featuring the Leavenworth Winter Sports Area and the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery. The Great Northern Railway snakes through the landscape, marked by mileposts such as Mile 40 and Mile 25, tracing a vital transportation corridor through the Wenatchee National Forest.

Genealogical interest is found in the locations of Leavenworth Cemetery, Peshastin Cemetery, and Mtn View Cemetery. The map captures the rugged eastern slopes of the Cascades, including the Stuart Range and Entiat Mountains, while detailing smaller settlements like Peshastin, Dryden, and Winton. Landmarks such as the Lookout Tower on Boundary Butte and the Tumwater Campground illustrate the area's transition into a destination for forestry and mountain leisure.
