2003 Map of Tiptop

About this map

Wenatchee National Forest encompasses a landscape defined by deep canyons and seasonal watercourses in this early 21st-century survey of the Chelan region. The high ground of Tronsen Ridge and the peak of Tiptop overlook a network of drainages including Mission Creek, Sand Creek, and Brender Canyon. A notable geographical feature is the Camas Land plateau, where the terrain levels out before dropping toward the surrounding creek beds. Evidence of modern infrastructure is sparse, limited primarily to a Quarry and a Communication Tower near the summit of Tiptop. The map documents the intricate drainage patterns of the Wenatchee National Forest just after the turn of the millennium, following a 2003 revision that updated forest boundaries and public land survey systems. Features like Deer Park Spring and Little Camas Creek highlight the essential water sources that have historically shaped land use in this part of Washington.
