About this map

Lake Chelan dominates the southwestern corner of this survey, where a Ferry route provides access to the steep drainage of Prince Creek. This 1960s landscape is defined by the intersections of the Wenatchee National Forest, Okanogan National Forest, and the Sawtooth Wilderness. The terrain is characterized by high ridges and basins, including the curiously named Skookum Puss Mountain and Indianhead Basin.

High-altitude water bodies such as Surprise Lake, Bernice Lake, and Cub Lake are scattered among the peaks of Sawtooth Ridge. The map documents a rugged interior accessible by trails through Safety Harbor Basin and along Miners Creek, reflecting the region's management by the U.S. Forest Service. Notable summits like Finney Peak, Vie Mtn, and Old Maid Mtn mark the high divides between the deeply incised creek forks that feed into the lake.
