About this map

Lake Chelan anchors the southwestern edge of this 1969 survey, where the water’s normal pool elevation of 1,098 feet meets steep shorelines at Hunts Bluff and Flick Creek Campground. The landscape is a high-altitude intersection of three significant land management areas: Lake Chelan National Recreation Area, Okanogan National Forest, and Wenatchee National Forest.

Mountain travel is defined by a network of pack trails crossing the high ridges of the Cascades, connecting remote water bodies like Lake Juanita and Williams Lake. The map details the rugged boundary between Chelan and Okanogan counties, which runs along the spine of the mountains through peaks like Reynolds Peak and Sun Mountain. A ferry route indicated on Lake Chelan suggests the primary means of access to these remote trailheads before modernized road networks reached deep into the North Cascades.
