About this map

Wenatchee National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Chelan County, defined by a complex network of ridges and glacial drainage basins. The Chiwawa River and the White River serve as the primary arterial waterways, fed by a system of tributaries including Raging Cr and Big Meadow Cr. The topography is anchored by prominent summits like McCall Mtn and Crook Mtn, while Estes Ridge and Chiwawa Ridge divide the numerous creek valleys.

High-country lakes provide a glimpse into the local hydrology, with Schaefer Lake and Twin Lakes situated in alpine cirques. Human access into this remote wilderness is largely limited to the Chiwawa River Rd and White River Rd, which follow the valley floors. The map details the transition from riparian corridors to steep slopes, featuring several remote water bodies such as D Lake and various smaller creeks like Minnow Cr and Brush Cr.
