This report is the fourth of a series entitled " Water powers of the Cascade Range, " prepared by the United States Geological Survey under a cooperative agreement with the Washington State Board of Geological Survey. Part I contains data on the drainage basins of Klickitat, White Salmon, Little White Salmon, Lewis, and Toutle rivers and was published in 1910 as Water-Supply Paper 253. Part II relates to the drainage basins of Cowlitz (except the Toutle) , Nis- qually, Puyallup, White, Green, and Cedar rivers, on the west side of the Cascade Range, and was published in 1913 as Water-Supply Paper 313. Part III refers to the Yakima basin, on the east side of the Cascade Range, and was published in 1916 as Water-Supply Paper 369. The Wenatchee and Entiat basins, Described in this report, lie in the central part of the State of Washington, on the eastern slope of the Cascade Range. The location of tljie areas covered by Parts I, II, III, and IV is shown in figure 1, and a map of the region under consideration forms Plate I. : The data on which this report is bas^d consist of daily stream- flow records, miscellaneous measurements, river plans and profiles (Pis. VII, A-E, VIII, and IX, A and B, at end of volume), reservoir surveys, topographic maps, and the results of reconnaissances made by the United States Geological Survey, supplemented by a large amount of information furnished by State officials, private individ­ uals, and officials of private enterprises. The potential water power in Washington, according -to official estimates,1 is greater than that of any other State in the Union, but irrigation projects susceptible of cheap development at small in­ itial outlay are neither so numerous nor so extensive in Washington as in

It reportedly grows in the Methow Valley of Okanogan County, Washington yet, current reports neglect to record any Okanogan populations [1].

    OF~ 76-~ PETR)3ENFSIS OF THE MXJNT STUART BATHOLITH PID:rrnIC EQJI\7ALENT OF THE HIGH-AIJ.JMINA BASALT ASSO:IATION by Erik H. Erikson Jr. Depart:rrent of Geology Eastern Washington State College Cheney ,Wc::.shington 99004 June 1, 1976 Abstract. The 1-bunt Stuart batholith is a Late Cretaceous calc-alkaline pluton · . canposed of intrusive phases ranging in canposition fran two-pyroxene gabbro to granite. This batholith appears to represent the plutonic counterpart of the high-alumina basalt association. Mineralogical, petrological and chrono­ logical characteristics are consistent with a m:::rlel in which the intrusive series evolved fran one batch of magnesian high-alumina basalt by successive crystal fractionation of ascending residual magrna. ' canputer m:::rleling of this intrusive sequence provides a quanti- tative evaluation of the sequential change of magrna CCIIlfX)sition. These calculations indicate that this intrusive suite is consanguineous, and that subtraction of early-fonned crystals £ran the oldest magrna is capable of reprcducing the entire magrna series with a remainder of 2-3% granitic liquid. Increasing f()tash discrepancies prcduced by the rrodeling may reflect the increasing effects of volatile transfer in progressively rrore hydrous and silicic melts. Mass-balances between the arrounts of curn-ulate and residual liquid ccnpare favorably with the observed arrounts of intenrediate rocks exposed in the batholith, but not with the mafic rocks. Ma.fie cum: ulates must lie at depth. Mafic magmas probably fractionated by crystal settling, while quartz diorite and rrore granitic magrnas underwent a process of inward crystallization producing exposed gradationally zoned plutons.Aat present erosional levels.

Fish and Wildlife Service September 2010 Chapter 10. Upper Columbia River Basins Critical Habitat Unit The Upper Columbia River Basins CHU includes the entire drainages of three CHSUs in central and north-central Washington on the east slopes of the Cascade Range and east of the Columbia River between Wenatchee, Washington, and the Okanogan River drainage: (1) Wenatchee River CHSU in Chelan County; (2) Entiat River CHSU in Chelan County; and (3) Methow River CHSU in Okanogan County. The Upper Columbia River Basins CHU also includes the Lake Chelan and Okanogan basins which historically provided spawning and rearing and FMO habitat and currently the Chelan Basin is essential and provides for FMO habitat to support migratory bull trout in this CHU. No critical habitat is proposed in the Okanogan River at this time. Bull trout have been recently observed in the Okanogan River near Osoyoos Lake, but it is unclear if it is essential habitat and what role this drainage may play in recovery. A total of 1,074.9 km (667.9 mi) of streams and 1,033.2 ha (2,553.1 ac) of lake surface area in this CHU are proposed as critical habitat to provide for spawning and rearing, FMO habitat to support three core areas essential for conservation and recovery.

  • GEOLOGIC MAP of the CHELAN 30-MINUTE by 60-MINUTE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON by R
    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP I-1661 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE CHELAN 30-MINUTE BY 60-MINUTE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON By R. W. Tabor, V. A. Frizzell, Jr., J. T. Whetten, R. B. Waitt, D. A. Swanson, G. R. Byerly, D. B. Booth, M. J. Hetherington, and R. E. Zartman INTRODUCTION Bedrock of the Chelan 1:100,000 quadrangle displays a long and varied geologic history (fig. 1). Pioneer geologic work in the quadrangle began with Bailey Willis (1887, 1903) and I. C. Russell (1893, 1900). A. C. Waters (1930, 1932, 1938) made the first definitive geologic studies in the area (fig. 2). He mapped and described the metamorphic rocks and the lavas of the Columbia River Basalt Group in the vicinity of Chelan as well as the arkoses within the Chiwaukum graben (fig. 1). B. M. Page (1939a, b) detailed much of the structure and petrology of the metamorphic and igneous rocks in the Chiwaukum Mountains, further described the arkoses, and, for the first time, defined the alpine glacial stages in the area. C. L. Willis (1950, 1953) was the first to recognize the Chiwaukum graben, one of the more significant structural features of the region. The pre-Tertiary schists and gneisses are continuous with rocks to the north included in the Skagit Metamorphic Suite of Misch (1966, p. 102-103). Peter Misch and his students established a framework of North Cascade metamorphic geology which underlies much of our construct, especially in the western part of the quadrangle. Our work began in 1975 and was essentially completed in 1980.
