1965 Map of The Cradle

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Cradle stands as a prominent peak within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, serving as a high-elevation landmark for the Wenatchee National Forest. This 1965 survey, updated in the 1980s, documents a high-altitude landscape defined by glacial lakes and the headwaters of the Cle Elum River. To the west, the river flows from Hyas Lake and through Tucquala Lake, where the Fish Lake Guard Station and a Campground provided infrastructure for mountain travelers. The drainage patterns shown here, from Leland Creek to French Creek, reveal the complex geography of the Wenatchee Mountains. Higher elevations are dotted with remote water bodies like the Klonaqua Lakes and Robin Lakes, clustered around the county line where Trico Mountain and Granite Mountain rise above the basin. The map illustrates a transitional period for forest management and recreation before modern trail networks became more heavily developed.
