About this map

Peshastin Creek and Swauk Creek provide the primary north-south drainage through this segment of the Wenatchee Mountains in the early 1960s. The map documents the remnants of the mining era at Blewett (Site) and the ongoing community at Liberty, while the rise of high-altitude recreation is evident at Mineral Springs Resort and Swauk Lodge.

Elevations vary significantly across the Wenatchee National Forest, from the jagged heights of the Stuart Range and Three Brothers in the northwest to the high plateau of Table Mountain in the south. Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous camps and specialized lookouts, including Lion Rock Lookout and the Bonanza Campground, alongside the administrative boundary dividing Chelan and Kittitas counties.
