2014 Map of China Bend

About this map

Marble and the small settlement of Ryan sit along the eastern banks of the Columbia River in Stevens County, where the waterway expands into Franklin D Roosevelt Lake. This 2014 survey documents a landscape dominated by the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area and its varied shoreline features, including China Bar and the curiously named Grafitti Bar near China Bend. The topography rises sharply from the riverbanks to the peaks of Lookout Mtn and O'Toole Mtn, split by high-elevation passages like Swede Pass. The map reveals a network of mountain roads and local ways, such as Northport Flat Creek Rd and Williams Lake Rd, which connect isolated water bodies like Williams Lake and Phalon Lake to the river valley corridor.
