2017 Map of Chesaw OE N

About this map

The international boundary at Canada/United States of America defines the landscape of this 2017 survey along the Washington and British Columbia border. Situated north of the Chesaw area, the map focuses on the drainage patterns and topography of the Okanagan Highland as it transitions into the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary. The terrain is characterized by numerous small drainage basins and unnamed seasonal watercourses that flow across the border, illustrating the continuity of the physical landscape despite the political divide. As a 21st-century digital product, it utilizes imagery from the National Agriculture Imagery Program to document the contemporary vegetation cover and land use patterns in this high-latitude region.
