2004 Map of Pinnacle Mountain

About this map

Lake Chelan anchors the northeastern corner of this high-elevation mountain terrain within the Wenatchee National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the Chelan Mountains and the sharp relief of the Glacier Peak Wilderness. Two primary water systems carve through the topography: Railroad Creek flows eastward toward the lake, while the Entiat River drains the southwestern slopes. The map traces significant peaks such as Lucerne Mountain and Pinnacle Mountain, illustrating the steep drainages of Wolverine Creek and Lighting Creek. The transition between the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area and the surrounding forest reflects the complex administrative management of this wilderness at the start of the 21st century. High-altitude meadows and basins, including the Fourth of July Basin and Emerald Park, highlight the subalpine character of the region.
