About this map

Lake Chelan edges the northeastern corner of this high-elevation terrain, where the steep slopes of the Chelan Mountains rise abruptly from the water. The landscape is dominated by the Wenatchee National Forest, defined by a network of primitive transportation routes including the Shady Pass Road, numerous unnamed pack trails, and several jeep trails. These routes connect remote landmarks like the Twentyfive Mile Creek Guard Station and prominent summits such as Stormy Mtn, Pot Peak, and Slide Peak.

Resource extraction and backcountry management are evident through the presence of a Mine near Lone Peak and scattered water sources like Windy Camp Spring and Stormy Spring. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated, showing how Twentyfive Mile Creek and its many tributaries, including Quarry Creek and First Creek, carve through the complex topography of Slide Ridge. This survey documents a wilderness area focused on forestry and fire management during the late 1960s.
