About this map

Peshastin and Dryden sit along the banks of the Wenatchee River in this modern survey of Chelan County. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the irrigated valley floor and the surrounding timberlands of the Wenatchee National Forest. This agricultural and water-management system is evident in the path of the Highline Canal and the network of orchard-access roads like Beecher Hill Rd and Stine Hill Rd.

The area's dramatic geography is highlighted by the Peshastin Pinnacles rising above the river, while numerous drainages such as Derby Canyon and Brender Canyon cut through the high ridges. Local history is anchored by landmarks like the Peshastin Cem and the former routes through Anderson Canyon. The map details a complex web of rural life where the river, the rail corridor, and the forest boundary meet.
