About this map

The Wenatchee National Forest dominates this section of the Central Cascades, where the North Fork Teanaway River and its numerous tributaries have carved a complex system of ridges and valleys. Prominent high points like Red Top Mtn and the long spine of Teanaway Ridge define the local topography, which is largely accessed by forest roads such as NFD 9737 RD and NFD 9738 RD. Atop the heights, Stafford Lookout provided a critical vantage point for fire management within the timberlands.

Evidence of specialized geography appears at the Red Top Agate Beds, a destination for mineral hunters, while the small settlement at Ryepatch and the seasonal grazing lands of Teanaway Mdws suggest a history of diverse land use. The drainage network is dense, featuring named watercourses like Story Cr, Medicine Cr, and Jungle Cr, which flow toward the Teanaway. This area represents a classic Pacific Northwest mountain landscape managed for its natural resources and recreational value.
