About this map

Wenatchee National Forest encompasses the high country of the eastern Cascades shown here, defined by the prominent Wenatchee Ridge and Teanaway Ridge. The landscape is a network of steep drainages including Standup Creek, Stafford Creek, and the North Fork Teanaway River, which carves through the southwestern portion of the map. These waterways and ridges are accessed by a series of primitive routes such as Jack Creek Rd and Teanaway Rd, indicating a terrain utilized for forestry and backcountry recreation.

Prominent peaks and navigational markers like Red Top Mtn stand as landmarks for those traversing the extensive trail system. Historic paths like the Iron Bear Trl and the Jungle Creek Trl connect the various creek valleys, providing a look at how the forest was managed and navigated in the early 21st century. The map illustrates a preserved wilderness where the names on the land, from Indian Creek to Shirk Creek, reflect the local geography of Kittitas County.
