1968 Map of Silver Falls

About this map

Wenatchee National Forest territory dominates this 1960s study, centered on the high-elevation drainage of the Entiat River as it winds through northern Chelan County. The map documents a rugged landscape managed for recreation and resource protection, featuring a series of remote campsites such as Silver Falls Campground, Lake Creek Campground, and Fox Creek Campground. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive peaks including Klone Peak, Kelly Mountain, and Signal Peak, while the valley floors provide crucial summer range at Blue Creek Meadow and Whistling Pig Meadow. The presence of a Forest Service Station, a Gaging Station, and a Weather Station indicates the heavy institutional footprint required for managing this mountain watershed and monitoring the dramatic Silver Falls.
