About this map

Lake Chelan dominates the southwestern corner of this survey, where the Moore Point Recreation Area and Hunts Bluff meet the shoreline. The terrain is defined by the high crests of Sawtooth Ridge, which serves as a natural divider between the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area and the Okanogan National Forest. High-altitude water bodies such as Lake Juanita, Williams Lake, and the Triplet Lakes are scattered among prominent summits like Reynolds Peak and Splawn Mountain.

Transitioning into the Wenatchee National Forest and the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness, the map traces the drainage patterns of Prince Creek and War Creek. This 2002 revision by the Forest Service meticulously documents the intersection of Chelan and Okanogan counties, illustrating the complex management boundaries that govern these protected lands. The presence of War Creek Pass and Purple Pass indicates the historic routes used to navigate these steep divides.
