About this map

Mount Stuart and the surrounding Wenatchee Mountains dominate this 1961 field-checked survey, revealing a landscape defined by alpine lakes and high-elevation terrain. The map captures the remote character of the Wenatchee National Forest, where established sites like De Roux Forest Camp and Beverly Forest Camp supported early recreational access. Resource extraction and forest management are evident through features like the Skookum Mine, several unnamed prospects near Gallagher Head, and the Stafford Lookout positioned for fire watch over Stafford Creek.

The hydrography is particularly intricate, documenting the Enchantment Lakes basin including Inspiration Lake and Perfection Lake. Along the lower elevations of the Middle Fork Teanaway River, smaller landmarks like Bible Rock Camp and a solitary Grave near Shrik Creek provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking early 20th-century movement through these mountain passes.
