About this map

Plain and Coles Corner anchor this mountain landscape as it appeared in the late 1960s, showing a region where recreation and resource management define the land use. The convergence of the Wenatchee River and Chiwawa River creates a natural hub for development, including Schugart Flat and the local Grange Hall. Nearby, Lake Wenatchee State Park and Fish Lake serve as primary recreational draws, supported by facilities like the YMCA Camp and the Lake Wenatchee State Emergency Airstrip.

Evidence of the local river-based economy is visible at the Gaging Station and the Flume located near the Chiwawa River. The surrounding Wenatchee National Forest is mapped in detail, showing a network of mountain ridges such as Natapoc Mtn and Pole Ridge. Several campgrounds, including Goose Creek Campground and Fish Pond Campground, highlight the shift toward seasonal tourism in this portion of Chelan County.
