2023 Map of Boot Mountain

About this map

Boot Mountain and Whitmore Mountain dominate the high ground of this landscape within the Colville Indian Reservation, overlooking a complex network of seasonal drainages and isolated basins. The presence of the Kartar Cemetery near Kartar Creek points to the long-standing community footprint in this part of Okanogan County. The terrain is defined by a series of saline and fresh water bodies, including Stinking Lake, Rat Lake, and the larger Omak Lake at the northern boundary. Transportation follows the natural contours of the land, with Kartar Valley Road (BIA 54) and Columbia River Road serving as primary connectors through the valley. The map details the transition from the high ridges down to the Goose Flats and the vicinity of Goose Lake, reflecting a landscape managed for both its natural resources and tribal heritage.
