About this map

The Columbia River carves a deep valley through this north-central Washington landscape, serving as the primary geographic corridor and historical boundary between Chelan, Douglas, and Okanogan counties. Along its banks, Lake Pateros is flanked by the small settlements of Starr and Azwell, while the River View Airpark signals the region's modern infrastructure. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts, moving from the river flats up into the high plateau of Highland Bench and the timbered slopes of the Okanogan National Forest and Wenatchee National Forest.

Canyons and gulches, including Bigelow Canyon and Brownfield Canyon, slice through the uplands where Arbuckle Mtn stands as a prominent landmark. Local history is etched into the landscape through named features like Meyer Ranch and Evergreen Camp, alongside numerous seasonal water sources such as Bonnie Merritt Spring and Don Williams Spring. The road network, featuring Highway 97 and more remote tracks like Spray Canyon Rd, traces the complex topography of this orchard and ranching country.
