2011 Map of Hopkins Canyon

About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality and complex drainage systems in north-central Washington. High summits such as Whitmore Mountain and Hamilton Mountain overlook a series of erosional features, including the deep namesake Hopkins Canyon. Water is the primary architect of this terrain, with the Columbia River carving through the southeast corner while tributary systems like Kartar Creek and Coyote Creek branch across the highlands. The distribution of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, such as BIA 1077 Rd and Omak Lake Columbia River Rd, highlights the modern infrastructure required to navigate this portion of Okanogan County. Geologists and local historians can observe the distinct branching patterns of Smith-Condon Creek and Harrison Creek, which feed into the larger river basins, alongside smaller drainages like Weber Canyon and Lee Canyon.
