1965 Map of The Cradle

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Cradle stands as the central landmark of this high-altitude survey, where the borders of King, Chelan, and Kittitas counties converge. The landscape is defined by the high alpine hydrology of the Wenatchee Mountains, characterized by numerous glacial tarns such as Klonaqua Lakes, Robin Lakes, and the secluded Swallow Lakes. This terrain dictated a specific pattern of movement through the wilderness, relying heavily on established routes like the Cascade Crest Trail (Pack) and the challenging Paddy-Go-Easy Pass.
