About this map

The Columbia River divides the urban centers of Wenatchee and East Wenatchee in this detailed look at the region's complex geography. The built environment is deeply integrated with the water systems of the Wenatchee Valley, notably the Wenatchee Reclamation Ditch and Gunn Ditch, which supported the area's agricultural development. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the riverbanks, reaching into the surrounding heights toward East Wenatchee Bench and Sunnyslope.

To the west, the landscape rises sharply into the Wenatchee National Forest, marked by distinctive geological formations like Castle Rock, Saddle Rock, and Rooster Comb. These landmarks stand as sentinels over the valley, while the George Sellar Bridge serves as the primary artery connecting Chelan and Douglas Counties. Local heritage is preserved in several significant burial grounds, including Evergreen Memorial Park and the Wenatchee Cem, providing a comprehensive view of the community's modern layout and its foundational land use.
