About this map

Lake Chelan dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, its steep shoreline punctuated by landmarks such as Deer Point and Limekiln Point. In the late 1960s, this region of the Wenatchee National Forest and Okanogan National Forest was defined by high-elevation summits and the infrastructure of water management. The mapping details an intricate system of a flume, aqueduct, and siphon threading through the mountains, alongside a small Dam and Gaging Station on Safety Harbor Creek.

High-altitude peaks like South Navarre Peak and Nelson Butte rise above Sawtooth Ridge, accessible by a network of paths including the Safety Harbor Creek Trail, various pack trails, and a jeep trail. The transition from the lake surface at Normal Pool Elevation 1098 to the craggy heights of Coyote Ridge highlights the dramatic verticality of this Pacific Northwest wilderness before modern recreational development intensified.
