About this map

Omak Lake and Goose Lake anchor this 1980 survey of the Okanogan landscape, where water bodies and springs dictate the layout of the land. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Boot Mountain, Rattlesnake Ridge, and Whitmore Mtn, which overlook a network of seasonal drainages and flats. The map details a high-elevation plateau character, with Goose Flats and Saddle Horse Flat providing level areas amidst the more vertical topography.

Evidence of human activity is sparse but specific, concentrated along the Omak Lake Road and a series of unnamed jeep trails. Small-scale landmarks like the Substation and Storage Bins indicate light utility and agricultural use, while features such as Balance Rock and Kartar Spring serve as important local reference points in this arid environment. The presence of Alkali Lake and Stinking Lake further suggests the unique mineral and hydrologic conditions found within this part of the Colville Indian Reservation.
