2017 Map of Pinnacle Mountain

About this map

Pinnacle Mountain rises as a central peak in this high-elevation landscape within the Wenatchee National Forest, where the terrain is defined by deep glacial valleys and sharp ridges. The northern reaches are governed by the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area, bordered by the expansive waters of Lake Chelan. This 2017 survey details a network of drainage systems including Railroad Cr and the Entiat River, which originates near the Entiat Meadows. The map illustrates the protected status of the high country through the Lower Railroad Cr Wilderness and features remote landmarks such as Monkey Bear Falls and the high-altitude Dole Lakes. These features represent the headwaters and crests of the Chelan Mountains, providing a technical view of the alpine geography before modern climate shifts further impact these perennial water sources.
