About this map

Wenatchee Heights and the agricultural lands of Stemilt Ridge dominate this central Washington landscape, showcasing a complex network of upland water management. The irrigation infrastructure is particularly dense, with a series of reservoirs and ponds such as Stemilt Project Reservoir, Greenwood Reservoir No 1, and Steffen Bros Reservoir supporting the orchards and farms that define the plateau. This 2003 revision reveals the intersection of cultivated land and protected wilderness, where the Colockum State Wildlife Area and Wenatchee National Forest meet the edges of family-named landmarks like Milo Wood Pond and Zimmerman Pond.

Social and educational centers are clearly marked, including the Pitcher School and Sch No 60, alongside the Stemilt Hill Cem and local Grange Hall. These features, connected by a network of winding roads like Halvorson Loop Road and Pitcher Road, trace the historical footprint of rural life above the Columbia River valley. The varied terrain transitions from the protected timber of Squilchuck State Park to the high elevations of Jumpoff Ridge.
