1989 Map of Peshastin

About this map

The Wenatchee River valley serves as the central artery for this late-twentieth-century landscape, where the communities of Peshastin and Dryden are defined by their proximity to vital water and transport infrastructure. The presence of the High Line Canal, Icicle Canal, and Wenatchee Canal illustrates a sophisticated irrigation network supporting the valley's agricultural development. Settlement patterns follow the river and the Burlington Northern railroad corridor, while the surrounding Wenatchee National Forest and numerous steep drainages like Derby Canyon and Williams Canyon constrain the habitable areas.
