About this map

The Entiat Mountains dominate this 2017 landscape within the Wenatchee National Forest in Chelan County. The area is defined by a dense network of high-altitude drainage systems and canyons, including Moon Canyon, Railroad Canyon, and Bjork Canyon. Water sources are localized at high elevations, notably Medicine Spring and Mud Spring near the crest of Medicine Ridge.

Transportation is dictated by the steep topography, with access provided through a system of Forest Service development roads like Merry Canyon Rd and Dry Creek Rd. This modern survey illustrates the complex watershed of Chumstick Cr and Douglas Cr, showing how the land remains primarily dedicated to protected forest management and primitive back-country access. The arrangement of these roads and named canyons offers a clear picture of the modern infrastructure used for resource management and fire access in this mountainous region.
