2023 Map of Alameda Flat

About this map

Rufus Woods Lake dominates the northern border of this Douglas County landscape, marking the winding path of the Columbia River where the boundary meets Okanogan County. The terrain is defined by a series of high benches and deep drainage systems, notably the expansive Alameda Flat and the neighboring Saddle Horse Flat. These tablelands are punctuated by dramatic relief from Buck Canyon and the branching reaches of Strahl Canyon. Small, high-altitude water bodies such as Rattlesnake Lake and Wilson Lake are scattered across the southern interior, sitting in the shadow of Wilson Butte. The map reveals a network of local roads such as Alameda Flats Rd and China Creek Rex Rd that follow the natural contours of the ridges and coulees, illustrating the remote agricultural and ranching layout of this high-desert region.
