2013 Map of Draper Lake

About this map

Canniwai Cr cuts through this high-elevation plateau on the Washington-Lincoln Co. line, defining a landscape where water and agriculture dictate the layout of the land. Small, isolated bodies of water like Draper Lake, Bergeau Lake, and Eagle Spring Lake break up the undulating terrain, providing essential landmarks in an area dominated by large-scale farming and township-and-range surveying. The road network, characterized by family-named routes such as Hankel Rd E, Mcnew Rd N, and Schmierer Rd N, reflects the enduring presence of local landholders and the organized grid of the Pacific Northwest's interior. This topography is shaped by the drainage patterns of small creeks and the placement of spring-fed lakes, illustrating the critical role of water sources in the development of this rural corner of the state.
