About this map

The Wenatchee River valley carves through the foothills of the Cascades, defining the irrigation and transport corridor between Peshastin and Dryden. In this 2014 landscape, the critical role of water management is visible through the engineering of the Icicle Canal and the Peshastin Cr, which support agricultural activity at sites like C and D Orchards. These settlements are tightly clustered along the river and the path of Us-2, while the surrounding terrain rises sharply into the protected lands of the Wenatchee National Forest.

Canyons such as Derby Canyon and Brender Canyon intersect the main valley, providing natural passages into the higher elevations of Blag Mtn. Local landmarks like the Peshastin Pinnacles stand out against the steep relief, while the Peshastin Cem provides a point of genealogical interest for those tracing family history in Chelan County. The map captures the balance between intensive orchard farming and the expansive wilderness that encloses these mountain communities.
