About this map

The Stehekin River valley and its surrounding high-alpine topography dominate this early 1960s survey of the Chelan backcountry. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major glacial and river systems, including the Lyall Glacier and Sandalee Glacier which feed the tributaries of McGregor Creek and Bridge Creek. This era of documentation highlights the intersection of several managed wilderness areas, including the North Cascades National Park and the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area.

Evidence of recreational and administrative development is visible through the positioning of the High Bridge Guard Station and a series of primitive camps such as Dolly Varden Campground and Tumwater Campground. The Pacific Crest Trail and the Scenic Trail provide the primary human arteries through this high-elevation terrain. Traces of early industrial interest are represented by a lone Mine near Bridge Creek Campground, while landmarks like the Tumwater Bridge and various mile markers along the river indicate the established pack and foot routes of the period.
