About this map

Lake Chelan serves as the primary gateway to the northern wilderness in this 2011 survey of the upper valley. The settlement of Stehekin centers on its vital transport links, including the Stehekin Ferry Landing, the Stehekin Boat Launch, and the Stehekin State Airport. Land travel is restricted to local corridors such as the Stehekin Valley Rd and Company Cr Rd, reflecting the area's isolation from the regional highway system.

The landscape is defined by its recreation and water features, from the dramatic Rainbow Falls and Bridal Veil Falls to numerous remote campsites like Harlequin Campground and Bird Creek Camp. Moving away from the water, the terrain rises sharply toward peaks such as Tupshin Peak and Rainbow Mountain. This map documents a unique community where survival and tourism are inextricably linked to the seasonal rhythms of the lake and the Stehekin River.
