About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation dominates this 1980s landscape in Okanogan County, where the topography is defined by deep drainages and isolated high points. The southern boundary of the map follows the winding course of the Columbia River-Rufus Woods Lake, marking the border with Douglas County. Notable peaks include Whitmore Mtn, which features a prominent Lookout Tower, and Hamilton Mountain to the east.

Surface water flows through several named drainages such as Hopkins Canyon, Coyote Creek, and Smith-Condon Creek, highlighting the importance of seasonal water management in this arid environment. Evidence of local industry or maintenance is present in the form of a Gravel Pit in the northeast. The settlement pattern is sparse, with Saddle Horse Flat representing one of the few named topographical flats in the area, offering a detailed look at the land use and reservation boundaries during this period.
