About this map

Lake Chelan dominates the northern edge of this landscape, its waters meeting the rugged slopes of the Wenatchee National Forest. This 1960s survey documents the geographic transition between the lake's southern shore and the Columbia River Lake Entiat to the south. The terrain is defined by dramatic erosion features like Navarre Coulee and Knapp Coulee, which cut through the high ground toward the river.

Settlement patterns follow the water and transport corridors, with the Burlington Northern railroad skirting the Columbia River banks. Small communities and landmarks like Winesap, Sunnybank, and Brays Landing are noted alongside agricultural and utility infrastructure, including several pumping stations and a Mine. The inclusion of Lake Chelan State Park and Wapato Point highlights the area's emerging balance between resource management and recreation.
