About this map

Lake Chelan and the Columbia River-Lake Entiat define this landscape on the eastern slopes of the Cascades, captured just before the 1970s. The terrain transitions from the shoreline of Lake Chelan State Park and the lakeside community of Sunnybank up into the high elevations of the Wenatchee National Forest. The map documents the physical boundary of Chelan and Douglas counties along the river, where the Burlington Northern railroad follows the water's edge near the small settlement of Winesap.

Geographic features such as Knapp Coulee and Oklahoma Gulch provide insight into the drainage patterns of the area, while family-named landmarks like Byrd Canyon and Davis Canyon reflect the history of local land use. Infrastructure is concentrated near the river and lake, featuring several pumping stations and the arterial South Lakeshore Road, which contrast with the more primitive jeep trails that climb toward Bear Mtn.
