- (b) **Approved maps.** The 8 United States Geological Survey (USGS) 1:24,000 scale topographic maps used to determine the boundary of the viticultural area are titled:
  - (1) Ardenvoir, WA, 2003;
  - (2) Chelan, WA, 2004;
  - (3) Entiat, WA, 2003;
  - (4) Orondo, WA, 2003;

  - (1) The beginning point is on the Wenatchee map at the intersection of the 1,200-foot elevation contour and the western boundary of [section 15](/cfr/27/15.md), T23N/R20E. From the beginning point, proceed northeast along the 1,200-foot elevation contour, crossing over the Rocky Reach Dam map and onto the northwest corner of the Orondo map; then
  - (2) Continue northeasterly, then southwesterly along the 1,200-foot elevation contour, crossing back onto the Rocky Reach Dam map and continuing southwesterly along the 1,200-foot elevation contour to its intersection with the unnamed creek flowing from Spencer Lake; then
  - (3) Proceed northeasterly along the 1,200-foot elevation contour, crossing over the unnamed creek and continuing across the southeastern corner of the Ardenvoir map and onto the Entiat map; then
  - (4) Continue northeasterly then westerly along the 1,200-foot elevation contour, crossing back onto the Ardenvoir map, and continuing along the elevation contour to its intersection with the R20E/R21E boundary, which is concurrent with the western boundary of [section 18](/cfr/27/18.md), T25N/R21E; then
  - (5) Proceed north along the R20E/R21E boundary, crossing over the Entiat River and the Entiat Ditch, to the intersection of the range boundary and the 1,200-foot elevation contour; then
  - (6) Proceed easterly along the 1,200-foot elevation contour, crossing onto the Winesap map, and continuing northeasterly along the 1,200-foot elevation contour to its intersection with the boundary between sections [11](/cfr/27/11.md) and [12](/cfr/27/12.md), T26N/R21E; then
  - (7) Proceed north along the boundary between sections [11](/cfr/27/11.md) and [12](/cfr/27/12.md) for approximately 300 feet to its intersection with the 1,400-foot elevation contour; then
  - (8) Proceed northeast, then south, then easterly along the 1,400-foot elevation contour, crossing Knapp Coulee and onto the Chelan map, and continuing east along the 1,400-foot elevation contour to its intersection with the northern boundary of [section 1](/cfr/27/1.md), T26N/R22E; then
  - (9) Proceed south-southeasterly in a straight line, crossing the Columbia River, to the intersection of the 1,600-foot elevation contour and the R22E/R23E boundary; then
  - (10) Proceed generally westerly along the 1,600-foot elevation contour, crossing over the southeastern corner of the Winesap map and onto the Entiat map, and continuing southwesterly along the 1,600-foot elevation contour to its intersection with an unnamed stream in [section 35](/cfr/27/35.md), T26N/R21E; then
  - (11) Proceed westerly (downstream) along the unnamed stream for 0.45 mile to its intersection with the 1,200-foot elevation contour; then
  - (12) Proceed southerly along the 1,200-foot elevation contour, crossing over the Orondo map and onto the Wenatchee map to the intersection of the elevation contour with the southern boundary of [section 14](/cfr/27/14.md), T23N/R20E; then
  - (13) Proceed west-northwest in a straight line for 1.47 miles, crossing the Columbia River, to the beginning point.
