About this map

Camas Land sits as a high basin within the Wenatchee National Forest, defining the central topography of this 1989 provisional survey. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of drainages including Camas Creek, Sand Creek, and Poison Canyon, which carve through the elevations marked by Tronsen Ridge and Mission Ridge. At the summit of Tiptop, a radio tower site overlooks the surrounding wilderness, while the presence of a Quarry near the basin floor suggests localized resource extraction during this era.

Outdoor recreation and forestry management are central themes, evidenced by the Bonanza Campground and Deer Park Spring. The map documents a rugged interior of Chelan County where numerous canyons like Brender Canyon and Slawson Canyon intersect with forest service boundaries. This edition serves as a record of the area's transition into more intensive recreational use while maintaining its industrial roots through the Forest Service (labeled as WNF) infrastructure.
