About this map

The eastern shores of Lake Chelan define this landscape, where the community of Manson sits at the foot of the Wenatchee National Forest. This 2020 survey reveals a complex irrigation and water management system in the high desert of Chelan County, evidenced by a series of significant inland water bodies including Wapato Lake, Roses Lake, and Dry Lake. These basins, along with Antilon Lake further north, represent a vital agricultural and recreational network surrounding the town.

Along the rugged western bank of the fjord-like Lake Chelan, prominent features like Slide Ridge, Granite Slide, and Fields Point showcase the steep vertical relief of the Cascades. Settlement is concentrated on the gentler eastern benches, with named neighborhoods and points such as Willow Point, Hollywood Beach, and Shrine Beach lining the waterfront. In the uplands, peaks like Fourth of July Mtn tower over the valley, while creek systems like Mitchell Cr and Antilon Cr drain into the primary lakes.
