1968 Map of Silver Falls

About this map

The Entiat River carves a deep path through the Wenatchee National Forest, serving as the central artery for a landscape defined by seasonal recreation and forestry management. During the late 1960s, this area of the Entiat Mts was a hub of outdoor activity, evidenced by the numerous established sites like Silver Falls Campground, Lake Creek Campground, and Blue Creek Campground. The presence of the Cottonwood Guard Station and a Forest Service Station near Blue Creek indicates the active role of federal oversight in protecting the timber and water resources of the Washington-Chelan Co. region.
