2003 Map of Mission Peak

About this map

Mission Ridge serves as the dominant high-country feature along the Chelan and Kittitas county line, defined by its complex drainage network and high-elevation landmarks. The landscape is heavily managed as part of the Wenatchee National Forest and the Colockum State Wildlife Area, reflecting a 21st-century balance of recreation and conservation. Notable human footprints include the Beehive Lookout and Naneum Lookout, alongside the recreational infrastructure of the Mission Ridge Winter Sports Area. This area transitions from the hydro-resources of Beehive Reservoir and Beehive Spring to the higher peaks, including the 6,876-foot Mission Peak. The presence of Dutch Settlement Creek suggests the enduring legacy of early settlers who navigated these canyons, while the Wenatchee Mountain Communication Facility represents modern technical utility in a remote environment.
