About this map

Mount Howard and Mount Mastiff anchor this high-elevation landscape in the Cascades during the late 1980s. The topographic detail reveals a landscape defined by dramatic ridges, including Wenatchee Ridge and Nason Ridge, which separate the drainages of the Little Wenatchee River and Nason Creek. Human activity is concentrated along these watercourses, notably at the small settlement of Berne and the nearby Maintenance Station.

Transport and recreation infrastructure is well-documented, from the engineering of the Cascade Tunnel to numerous backcountry Pack Trails and footpaths leading to remote waters like Canaan Lake and Merritt Lake. Cultural landmarks such as the Cascade Meadows Church Camp and the Soda Springs Campground illustrate the area's established role for seasonal gatherings and forestry management within the Wenatchee National Forest.
