About this map

The confluence of the Okanogan and Columbia rivers shapes the landscape here, where Brewster sits on the northern bank of Lake Pateros. This modern survey illustrates the intensive agricultural use of the surrounding benches, particularly at Brewster Flat and near the residential development of Harmony Heights. The map reveals a complex irrigation and water management network necessitated by the arid climate, including Indian Dan Canyon Reservoir and McKie Pond, which support the orchards and farms dotting the terrain.

Beyond the irrigated flats, the topography rises sharply into deep drainages such as Central Ferry Canyon and Indian Dan Canyon. To the west and south, the elevation increases toward landmarks like Tenas Mtn and Timber Peak. For local historians and genealogists, the Locust Grove Cem remains a significant touchstone on the edge of the settlement, while the transition between Okanogan and Douglas counties is clearly delineated across the river.
