About this map

Leavenworth is the focal point of this late 1980s survey, positioned at the confluence of the Wenatchee River and Icicle Creek. The town's layout reflects its dual identity as a mountain community and a hub for transportation and resource management, with the Burlington Northern railroad and several Ski Trails carving paths through the steep valley. Nearby, the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery and Mtn View Cem provide historical and institutional anchors to the landscape.

The surrounding terrain is dominated by the Wenatchee National Forest and the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, featuring dramatic geological landmarks such as Castle Rock, Snow Creek Wall, and the Stuart Range. These features, alongside the Icicle Canal and multiple small lakes like Jolanda Lake, illustrate a complex network of water management and recreation. Local infrastructure, including the Cascade Jr/Sr High and a Gravel Pit, underscores the local economy during this era of growth in Chelan County.
