About this map

The Winton settlement serves as a focal point in this 1980s-era map of the Chelan County backcountry, where the Wenatchee River carves a deep path through the Wenatchee National Forest. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, specifically within Tumwater Canyon, where the river parallels a winding road and a railroad that disappears into a tunnel. Recreational and utility infrastructure is well-marked, including the Tumwater Campground, the Swift Water Picnic Area, and sewage disposal ponds near the river's bend.

Water management and natural drainage are evident through numerous tributaries like Chiwaukum Creek, Hatchery Creek, and Chumstick Creek. Peaks and ridgelines such as Natapoc Ridge and Tumwater Mountain loom over the valley floors. For those tracing the evolution of the regional transport network, the map documents a system of 4wd tracks and forest roads providing access to landmarks like Drury Falls and the secluded Jolanda Lake.
