About this map

Mission Ridge serves as the spine of this mid-1960s survey along the border of Chelan and Kittitas Counties. The landscape reflects a dual-use transition between high-altitude recreation and the area's timber and surveillance infrastructure. The Mission Ridge Winter Sports Area is established here alongside technical installations like the Wenatchee Mtn Radio Facility and fire lookout points at Beehive Mtn Lookout Tower and Naneum Pt Lookout Tower.

Evidence of early movement across the high country is preserved in routes like the Peavine Canyon Pack Trail, while the lower elevations show the footprint of human habitation at Scout-a-Vista and the Dutch Settlement in the Naneum Basin. The map captures a high-elevation water system including Beehive Reservoir and Clara Lake, supporting both the Wenatchee National Forest camps and the nearby Squilchuck State Park.
