1989 Map of Hopkins Canyon

About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation dominates this 1989 landscape, where the northern high country drops away toward the southern river valley. In the southwest corner, Whitmore Mtn rises above the terrain, while the central portion of the sheet is defined by the deep cut of Hopkins Canyon. A notable information-gain detail for genealogists is a lonely Grave located in the far northeast corner, a solitary marker of human history in an otherwise creek-carved wilderness. The southern boundary is formed by the Columbia River Rufus Woods Lake, where the river pools at the border of Okanogan and Douglas counties. Water sources such as Kartar Creek, Smith-Condon Creek, and the Hamilton Mountain Spring flow through these uplands, providing essential resources for the rugged reservation lands.
