About this map

Liberty sits at the confluence of Williams Creek and Swauk Creek, serving as a focal point for historic mining activity within the Wenatchee National Forest. This 2003 revision, based on earlier topography, illustrates a landscape heavily shaped by extraction, with numerous Mine Shafts, Strip Mines, and a Quarry scattered across the eastern slopes of the Wenatchee Mountains. The mapping documents the transition from the rugged Swauk Ridge to the high elevations of Flag Mountain and Snowshoe Ridge.

Transportation through this high-country terrain is anchored by the Leavenworth Cle Elum Rd, which follows the contours of the drainage systems. To the west, the Teanaway Ridge divides the waters of the North Fork Teanaway River and the West Fork Teanaway River. The presence of the Mineral Springs Resort indicates the area's dual identity as both an industrial mining ground and a destination for mountain recreation.
