2014 Map of Boot Mountain

About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation encompasses this high plateau landscape, defined by a series of saline lakes and seasonal watercourses. The northern reaches are anchored by the expanse of Omak Lake, with Stinking Lake and Rat Lake tucked into the higher elevations to the west. This territory transitions from the southern shore of the lake through the prominent Goose Flats toward the south, where Alkali Lake and Hidden Lake mark the lower basins. The terrain is dominated by significant peaks including Boot Mtn and Whitmore Mtn, while unique geological features like Balance Rock punctuate the ridges. A network of rural routes, including Columbia River Rd and Omak Lake Rd, provides access across these tribal lands, connecting scattered water sources like Kartar Spring and Buggy Spring used for land management and local navigation.
