2011 Map of Azwell

About this map

The Columbia River defines the southeastern border of this landscape, its waters widening into Lake Pateros near the settlements of Azwell and Starr. This river-driven topography is characterized by a series of drainages and named canyon systems, including Wadams Canyon and Bigelow Canyon, which cut through the high ground of Arbuckle Mountain. The presence of Meyer Ranch and labels like Gossman Flats indicate a rural economy tied to the land and water, while the eastern edge of the Okanogan National Forest suggests the transition from agricultural valley to protected timberlands. Local transport is facilitated by a network of named routes such as Antoine Creek Rd and Apple Acres Rd, which connect the scattered communities of Union Valley and Evergreen Camp to the river's edge.
