About this map

The settlement of Monitor serves as the focal point of this 2023 survey, situated where the Wenatchee River meets a network of vital irrigation infrastructure. The local agricultural legacy is evident in the presence of the High Line Canal, Icicle Canal, and Gunn Ditch, which distribute water across the valley floor. Orchards and small-scale agriculture define the lowland development, specifically around Monitor Orchards Rd.

Beyond the river valley, the terrain rises sharply into the Entiat Mountains and the protected lands of the Wenatchee National Forest. This section is carved by numerous drainages, including Number One Canyon and Number Two Canyon, which lead toward landmarks like Horse Lake Mtn and Sheep Rock. The map traces the transition from the concentrated commercial and residential corridor near the Po to the vast, undeveloped slopes of the forest, providing a clear picture of how topography and water access have shaped land use in this part of Chelan County.
