2014 Map of Chapman Lake

About this map

Chapman Lake and Bonnie Lake define the hydrologic character of this interior Washington landscape, situated along the border of Spokane and Whitman counties. The terrain is marked by a series of elongated water bodies and drainage systems, including Badger Lake and Johnson Lake, which sit within a complex of coulées typical of the region. A network of rural arteries like S Cheney Plaza Rd and the intriguing Texas Ferry Rd provide access to these remote reaches. The survey captures the transition from the basalt-scoured wetlands of Rock Cr to the more elevated, rolling uplands. This 2014 representation emphasizes the area's continued reliance on local connectors such as W Winslow Rd and S Rock Lake Rd to bridge the gap between small-scale ranching and the preservation of natural water courses like Buckeye Cr and Negro Cr.
