About this map

Wenatchee National Forest encompasses the entirety of this high-elevation landscape in Chelan County, where the Chiwawa River and Napeequa River carve through the North Cascades. The map is defined by prominent alpine features, including the Chiwawa Ridge and the Basalt Ridge, which frame the central drainage basin. Deep within these basins lie significant water bodies like Schaefer Lake, situated below the steep slopes of Crook Mtn, and the high-altitude Twin Lakes to the south.

Transportation is limited to the corridor of the Chiwawa River Rd, which follows the river's path through the valley. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage network of the forest, showing how minor tributaries like Schaefer Cr, Raging Cr, and Big Meadow Creek feed into the primary river systems. The inclusion of peak names like McCall Mtn and Old Gib provides essential landmarks for navigating this remote wilderness area.
