About this map

The Spokane River winds through this northern Washington landscape, forming a sharp boundary between Lincoln and Stevens Counties. This 2023 edition highlights the extensive reaches of the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, where the backed-up waters of the Spokane River Arm fill deep, branching valleys. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts, from the heights of Cayuse Mtn and Bald Ridge down to the secluded basins of Benjamin Lake and Carp Lake.

A complex network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, such as Bia Hwy 38 and Bia HWY 37, provides access to the high plateaus and canyon floors. Researchers can trace the rugged transition from upland ridges to the water's edge via Mill Canyon and Harker Canyon. The map preserves local access names like McCullough Rd E and Cayuse Cove Loop, reflecting the area's modern mix of recreational use and rural transit.
