About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation dominates this landscape, showing a diverse network of lakes and drainage systems within the Columbia River basin. Along the southwestern bend of the Rufus Woods Lake section of the Columbia River, small settlements like Seatons Grove, Koontzville, and Elmer City cluster near the water's edge. These communities represent the residential heart of the quadrangle, connected by Route 155 as it follows the river valley.

The upland terrain is marked by significant water bodies including Buffalo Lake and Rebecca Lake, which sit north of the river amongst landforms like Kaiser Canyon. The presence of Belvedere near the border of Okanogan and Douglas counties highlights the intersection of political boundaries and natural geography. This survey provides a clear view of the interior reservation lands just before the turn of the 21st century, detailing the hydrology of Little Nespelem River and numerous small interior basins like Five Lakes.
