2023 Map of Winesap

About this map

Lake Chelan dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the Lake Chelan Ferry provides a vital transit link between Manson and the south shore. This region is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, rising from the Columbia River and Lake Entiat in the southeast toward the heights of the Chelan Mountains. The settlement at Winesap sits nestled between Oklahoma Gulch and Byrd Canyon, illustrating the historical reliance on narrow coulees for passage through the steep terrain. Land use here is a patchwork of agricultural development near Sunnybank and the protected wilderness of the Wenatchee National Forest. Key landmarks such as Goosetail Rock and the Rocky Pond Airstrip offer unique orientation points for researchers tracing the modern infrastructure and natural geography of Chelan County.
