About this map

The Entiat River carves a deep valley through the Wenatchee National Forest in this late 1960s survey, serving as the primary corridor for development and recreation. High above the valley floor, Tyee Mtn stands as a prominent landmark topped by a lookout station, overlooking a complex network of elevations including Tyee Ridge and Hornet Ridge. The landscape is defined by its transition from the riverbanks to the high timberline, accessed by a system of pack trails and early access roads.

Local infrastructure of the era is evidenced by the Entiat Valley Ski Area and the Pine Flat Campground, while smaller clearings like Camp Nine suggest the area's history of forest management and temporary settlement. Water resources are meticulously mapped, from the Gaging Station on the river to a numbered series of high-altitude springs, including Tyee Ridge Spring No. 3 and No. 8, which provided essential water points for backcountry travelers and foresters.
