2020 Map of Jameson Lake East

About this map

Grimes Lake and its surrounding basaltic landscape define this portion of Douglas County, where the high desert terrain of Central Washington meets a series of significant coulee water bodies. The geography is characterized by dramatic elevation changes near Chester Butte and the narrow, steep-sided valleys that contain Twin Lake and Fisher Lakes. This area represents a classic example of the Channeled Scablands, where the scars of ancient glacial floods are still visible in the contour of the land. Access to the water is concentrated along the western edge via Jameson Lake Rd and the E Jameson Lake Access Rd, serving Jameson Lake. The remainder of the quadrangle is largely defined by a grid of rural routes such as Wittig Rd Ne and Rd I Ne, which navigate the plateaus and occasional drainages like McCartney Cr.
