2014 Map of Polallie Ridge

About this map

Wenatchee National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the western ridges near Island Mtn and Pete Lake. The area is defined by its drainage systems and significant mountain passes, including Waptus Pass and Copper Pass, which historically served as vital corridors through the Cascade Range. Water features are central to the geography here, with Waptus Lake in the north and Cooper Lake in the south connected by a network of creeks like Tumble Cr and Quick Cr. The prominent Polallie Ridge stands as a central divide, once topped by the Polallie Ridge Lookout, overlooking the Waptus River and Cooper River valleys. This survey illustrates the intricate alpine topography and the established trail systems used by travelers and forest rangers in the early 21st century.
