About this map

The Okanogan River corridor defines this portion of north-central Washington, where the valley floor is flanked by prominent landforms like Whitestone Mountain and Pickens Mountain. The settlement of Ellisforde sits along the river's eastern bank, serving as a focal point for a network of rural routes such as Ellisforde Bridge Rd and Nickelson Rd. Further north, the small community of Cordell is situated near the river's meandering bends and Horseshoe Lake.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is found at the Lucky Knock Mine in the southwest, while water management is highlighted by the Whitestone Lake Dam. The landscape is dotted with numerous small bodies of water, including Poison Lake, Stern Lake, and the remote Crater Lakes tucked near Whisky Mountain. The varied terrain from the river flats to the high peaks illustrates the region's reliance on both the fertile valley bottom and the mineral-rich highlands.
