2014 Map of Mission Peak

About this map

The Mission Peak area in Wenatchee National Forest marks the high-elevation boundary where Chelan County meets Kittitas County. This 2014 survey details the complex drainages of Mission Creek and Squilchuck Creek, which carve deep canyons such as Peavine Canyon and Pendleton Canyon through the eastern Cascades. The map reveals the historical and recreational footprint of the region, from the high-altitude Naneum Lookout and Naneum Point to secluded alpine water bodies like Clara Lake and Marion Lake. Of particular interest to local historians is the southern portion of the map, which includes Dutch Settlement and the extensive Naneum Basin. A network of forest roads, including Liberty Beehive Road and Number Two Canyon Road, provides access to landmarks like Beehive Mountain and its associated Beehive Reservoirs, illustrating the management of water resources in this timbered landscape.
