About this map

The Chiwawa River carves a deep valley through the heart of the Wenatchee National Forest, where high-elevation landmarks like McDonald Ridge and Nason Ridge define the landscape. Near the confluence of the river and Nason Creek, the small settlement of Plain serves as a central hub for the surrounding backcountry. The terrain is marked by a complex network of forest development roads, including the Chiwawa River Rd, which provides access to remote recreational sites such as the Alder Creek Horse Camp and the high-altitude Burgess Meadow.

Water and aviation intersect at the western edge of the quadrangle, where the Lake Wenatchee State Airport sits adjacent to the sprawling waters of Lake Wenatchee. This area is characterized by a mix of natural features like Fish Lake and Emerald Island alongside localized developments such as Coles Corner. The map captures a transitional zone where the steep slopes of Natapoc Mtn and Pobst Canyon give way to the level ground of Schugart Flat.
