1904 Map of Stehekin

USGS Topo · Published 1904

About this map

Lake Chelan dominates this high-altitude landscape, serving as the primary corridor for early 20th-century settlement in a region defined by the Washington Forest Reserve. The map documents a time when access to the interior was dictated by water and narrow mountain passes, with small outposts like Stehekin, Moore, and Lucerne hugging the shoreline. One of the most intriguing industrial features is the Holden Railroad, a short line disconnected from the national rail network, supporting localized activity near the settlement of Holden deep in the mountains. The terrain is a complex web of drainage systems including the Stehekin River and Bridge Creek, which provided natural routes for miners and early forest rangers. To the east, the Twisp River headwaters and Twisp Pass show the connection toward the Methow Valley, while landmarks like Rainbow Falls and Refrigerator Harbor mark the specialized geography of the lake's northern reach.
