About this map

Glacier Peak Wilderness and the Wenatchee National Forest dominate this high-elevation terrain within the Cascade Range. The topography is defined by the steep Chiwawa Ridge, which separates the drainages of the Chiwawa River and the Napeequa River. Notable alpine water bodies including Schaefer Lake, D Lake, and the expansive Twin Lakes are situated among prominent peaks like Crook Mountain and McCall Mountain.

Human activity is centered on the river corridor, where several recreational sites such as Riverbend Campground and Atkinson Flat Campground provide access to the wilderness. The map details a network of creeks, including Raging Creek and Finner Creek, that feed into the Chiwawa. A singular Borrow Pit and various bench marks like BM 2501 and BM 2602 serve as the only sparse evidence of industrial or survey infrastructure in this protected landscape.
