2020 Map of Stehekin

About this map

Lake Chelan anchors the southeastern corner of this map, serving as the gateway to the remote settlement of Stehekin. The community and its small Stehekin State Airport are positioned at the head of the lake, where the glacial waters of the Stehekin River terminate. This 2020 survey reveals a landscape largely managed by the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area and the Wenatchee National Forest, where steep drainages like Rainbow Creek and Devore Creek feed the main valley. Notable landmarks such as Painted Rocks and Purple Point line the lakeshore, while high-altitude features like Tupshin Peak and the Fourth of July Basin define the surrounding heights. The map traces the essential transportation corridors of this roadless region, including the Rainbow Loop and Imus Loop trails, which connect the valley floor to spectacular features like Rainbow Falls.
