About this map

Wenatchee Heights sits atop a plateau defined by a complex irrigation network, essential for the orchards and agriculture of this region. The landscape is marked by numerous water management features, ranging from the Greenwood Reservoir Number One and Greenwood Reservoir Number Two to family-named landmarks like the Steffen Brothers Reservoir and Milo Wood Pond. These features illustrate the intensive effort required to manage water across Stemilt Basin and the surrounding canyons.

Rising above the agricultural lands are prominent heights such as Wheeler Hill and Stemilt Hill, the latter of which is home to the Stemilt Hill Cem. To the south, the terrain transitions into the protected lands of the Wenatchee National Forest and the dramatic rise of Jumpoff Ridge. The map also captures the Hoverhawk Ranch Airport, serving this high-elevation community nestled between Pitcher Canyon and the headwaters of Stemilt Creek.
