About this map

Entiat Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape where the Wenatchee National Forest meets the Lake Chelan shoreline. The map reveals a complex network of high ridges, including Pugh Ridge, Duncan Ridge, and Silver Ridge, which define the drainage basins for the Entiat River and its tributaries like Pope Creek. This area serves as a critical transition between the deep waters of the lake and the protected alpine environments of the Glacier Peak Wilderness.

Tracing the geography from Pyramid Mountain down to the water, the map identifies a distinct lack of road infrastructure, highlighting the area's dependence on trails and water routes. The presence of the Ferry landing on the lake and the Duncan Ridge Trail underscore a landscape managed for wilderness and timber, where named landmarks like Cardinal Peak and Graham Mountain guided early forest rangers and backcountry travelers.
