About this map

Sugarloaf Peak rises as a prominent landmark in the southeastern corner of this high-elevation terrain within the Wenatchee National Forest. The landscape is defined by the steep descent of the Entiat Mountains, where a complex network of ridges and drainages dictates the movement of water and travel. The Mad River and its upper and lower reaches carve deep into the heart of the area, joined by tributaries such as Jimmy Creek and Billy Creek.

Tracing these high ridges reveals landmarks like Maverick Peak, McDonald Ridge, and Miners Ridge, which likely served as critical vantage points for forestry and early exploration. The distribution of meadows like Morrow Meadow amidst the vertical relief of Medicine Ridge and Gold Ridge illustrates the diverse subalpine environments of Chelan County. This survey provides a contemporary perspective on the managed wilderness, marking the boundaries between township sections and federal forest lands.
