About this map

Lake Entiat and the Columbia River dominate the western edge of this landscape, marking the boundary between Chelan and Douglas counties. The settlement of Orondo serves as a local hub near the river, supported by a network of Pumping Stations and agrarian infrastructure like Storage Bins. The terrain rises sharply to the east toward the expansive heights of Badger Mountain, where the Badger Mtn Lookout and a Communication Tower emphasize the ridge's strategic elevation.

Social and civic life in this rural corridor is anchored by the Badger Mtn Community Hall and the South Side Cem, located along the southern reaches near Beaver Creek. The map details a transition from the river-level orchards and settlements like Wagnersburg to the high-elevation plateaus accessed by the winding Badger Mtn Road. Small water sources such as Rock Island Creek and various Springs dot the upland drainages, essential for the remote operations and dwellings found throughout the quadrangle.
