About this map

The Okanogan River carves a fertile valley floor between the high ridges of Okanogan County, anchoring the small settlements of Ellisforde and Cordell. This early 21st-century landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and water management, where the steep slopes of Whisky Mtn and Pickens Mtn overlook a complex network of glacial features and irrigation routes. The western portion of the map is dominated by the Okanogan National Forest, containing high-elevation water bodies like Big Finney Lake and the Crater Lakes.

Near the valley floor, the geography transitions into the distinct Whitestone Flats and the deep incision of Whitestone Coulee. These landforms, along with Whitestone Lake, illustrate the region's geological history of ice-age flooding and erosion. Local transit and agriculture are evidenced by the web of named roads, including Loomis-Oroville Rd and Epson Salt Rd, which navigate the rugged terrain around Little Whisky Mtn.
