About this map

Mount Stuart and the Stuart Range dominate this early 1960s survey of the high central Cascades along the boundary of Chelan and Kittitas counties. The map documents a landscape of alpine hydrology and early forest recreation, featuring the Snow Creek Glacier and the high-elevation Upper Enchantment Lakes alongside established backcountry sites like De Roux Forest Camp and Beverly Forest Camp.

Resource extraction and fire management are visible through the inclusion of the Skookum Mine and several unnamed prospects near Gallagher Head, as well as fire surveillance points at Stafford Lookout and Teanaway Lookout. The drainage patterns of the North Fork Teanaway River and Ingalls Creek provide a framework for the area's trail system, including the Jack Creek Trail, illustrating how the Wenatchee National Forest was accessed for both industry and wilderness exploration during this era.
