About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation landscape is defined by its rugged creek drainages and high-elevation basins in this late 1980s record of Okanogan County. The settlement of Disautel and the nearby Camp Disautel serve as the primary human centers in an area otherwise characterized by vast stretches of natural terrain and seasonal waterways. Water moves through the territory via several major named systems, including Omak Creek and the long, winding Coyote Canyon to the south.

Researchers will find a landscape that remains largely undeveloped, focused on water sources and isolated settlements. The geography transitions from the Nason Basin in the west to high points near Summit Lake. Roads and primitive trails connect small locations like Kartar to the larger creek valleys, including Swimptkin Creek and Dan Nason Creek. The map provides a precise look at the land use and natural boundaries of the reservation just before the turn of the millennium.
