About this map

Wenatchee National Forest dominates the landscape of this 1968 survey, where the Entiat River carves a deep valley through the Entiat MTS. The mapping reflects a region managed for both conservation and recreation, evidenced by the network of Pack Trail segments and numerous designated campsites like Silver Falls Campground and Fox Creek Campground. A dedicated Forest Service Station and various Guard Station and Lookout points underscore the administrative presence in this high-elevation backcountry.

High peaks such as Klone Peak and Kelly Mountain overlook significant water sources and meadows, including Whistling Pig Meadow and East Blue Creek Mdw. The map preserves the exact locations of backcountry infrastructure, such as the Hunters Trail Shelter and a Gaging Station on the river, providing a record of the wilderness as it was before modern developments altered these remote drainage basins.
