2017 Map of Chief Joseph Dam

About this map

The Chief Joseph Dam controls the flow of the Columbia River along the border of Okanogan Co and Douglas County, creating the expansive Rufus Woods Lake. To the west, the city of Bridgeport sits near the river's edge, surrounded by a landscape of high plateaus and deep drainage features like Fye Draw and Smith Draw. The terrain rises toward landmarks such as Sand Hill and Dyer Hill, while the southern reaches of the map are defined by the winding paths of Foster Cr, Middle Foster Cr, and W Foster Cr. Local routes such as Pearl Hill Rd and Dyer Hill Rd provide access through the agricultural and grazing lands found at Buckingham Flats and Sourdough Flats. Small water features like McClain Lake, Rudd Lake, and Sharyer Spring are scattered across the higher elevations, highlighting the area's hydrology and settlement patterns.
