About this map

Rufus Woods Lake and the Columbia River dominate this 1980 survey, marking the jagged boundary between Okanogan and Douglas Counties. The landscape is defined by the high plateau of Pearl Hill and the dramatic drop to the river valley, where Bridgeport State Park and a nearby campground offer a glimpse into the region's recreational development. Along the river’s northern shore, the Colville Indian Reservation Boundary follows the water's edge, creating a distinct jurisdictional transition across the lake.

Local landmarks such as the Bedard School and Bedard Lake point to early ranching or settlement roots in the upland areas, while Pearl Hill Road and various jeep trails provide the primary access to this terrain. Industrial presence is noted through several Gravel Pits and storage bins, suggesting a working landscape tied to the river's resources and construction. Water sources like Gataboy Spring and Brewer Spring punctuate the arid hillsides, supporting life away from the main river channel.
