About this map

Tyee Mountain and its high-altitude Tyee Mountain Lookout dominate this portion of the Okanogan-Wenatchee area, where a network of forest service roads and high ridges define the landscape. The Entiat River carves a deep valley through the eastern portion of the map, followed by the Entiat River Rd, which provides access to the Entiat Valley Ski Area. This 2011 survey captures a geography shaped by outdoor recreation and resource management, evidenced by the scattered locations of Young Creek Shelter, Camp Nine, and Pine Flat Campground.

A series of high-elevation water sources, labeled as Tyee Ridge Spring Number 1 through Number 8, are clustered near McKenzie Saddle. This systematic labeling of springs along Tyee Ridge highlights the critical importance of water management in this high-country environment. The drainages of the Mad River, Hornet Creek, and Stormy Creek create a complex system of canyons and spurs, including Gray Canyon and Decker Canyon, which fall away from the primary ridgelines of Hornet Ridge and Gold Ridge.
