1952 Map of Disautel

About this map

Disautel sits as the primary settlement in this high-altitude landscape of central Washington, positioned where the Colville Indian Reservation meets the Chelan National Forest. The topography is defined by significant peaks such as Moses Mountain and Little Moses Mtn, while the drainage system is anchored by Omak Creek and the marshy expanses of Moses Meadows. The map reveals a land managed for both conservation and resource extraction, evidenced by the scattered Gravel Pits and the Lookout atop Armstrong Mtn. Water is a recurring theme in the high country, with Crawfish Lake in the northwest and Summit Lake to the south serving as important landmarks for local navigation and water rights in this era of the early 1950s.
