2023 Map of Boundary OE N

About this map

The Columbia River dominates this northern stretch of Stevens County, carving a wide path through a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and numerous tributary drainages. High points like Moraski Mtn and Simons Mtn anchor the southern boundary, while the interior is etched by a complex web of waterways including Ryan Creek, Casino Creek, and Sheppard Creek. The drainage pattern is particularly intricate near Violin Lake, where Stussi Creek and Edgren Creek converge, illustrating the hydrological significance of this borderland region. In the northern reaches, smaller flows such as McQuarrie Creek and Randall Creek feed directly into the Columbia, showing the persistent role of the river as the primary basin for the surrounding mountains. This 2023 survey documents the topography of the Washington-British Columbia boundary area, focusing on natural features rather than concentrated settlements.
