About this map

Wenatchee National Forest dominates this section of the eastern Cascades, where steep canyons and high ridges define the local geography. The settlement of Tiptop sits near the headwaters of the regional drainage system, characterized by a network of seasonal and perennial streams like Sand Cr and Mission Cr. A notable upland basin known as Camas Land provides a rare break in the vertical relief, south of Sherman Canyon and Slawson Canyon.

Evidence of the area's geological and recreational character is found in named landmarks such as Red Hill and the prominent Mission Ridge. Transport through this elevation is largely restricted to forest service routes like Brisky Canyon RD and Tripp Canyon RD, while Us HWY 97 skirts the southern boundary near Tronsen Cr. The map preserves the specific locations of water sources essential to mountain travel, such as Deer Park Spring.
