About this map

Lake Chelan anchors the southwestern edge of this high-elevation mountain terrain, where the northern Cascades rise sharply toward the Sawtooth Ridge. The landscape is defined by the massive drainage systems of Prince Creek and its many branches, including the North Fork and East Fork. This area, managed as the Wenatchee National Forest and Okanogan National Forest, remains a significant protected wilderness area.

Evidence of historical prospecting and rugged mountain travel is preserved through names like Miners Basin and Devils Kitchen, as well as an extensive network of trails like the Summit Trail Wilderness Trail and Prince Creek Wilderness Trail. Distinctive peaks such as Skookum Puss Mtn, Old Maid Mtn, and Ferry Peak overlook remote alpine waters including Bernice Lake, Cub Lake, and Dry Lake, illustrating a landscape shaped by glacial activity and severe elevation changes.
