About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation landscape is defined by its numerous isolated water bodies and high plateau terrain in this part of Okanogan County. Small, often seasonal lakes such as Figure Eight Lake, Freidlander Lake, and Joe Lake are scattered across the quadrangle, while the massive Omak Lake occupies the northeastern corner. In the west, the open expanse of Timentwa Flats borders the small settlement of LaFleur, which sits near the headwaters of Tumwater Creek.

Transportation through this high-country region relies on a network of tribal and rural roads, including Timentwa Rd and Cold Springs Rd. The presence of several named springs, such as Cunningham Spring and Allen Spring, highlights the importance of reliable water sources in this semi-arid environment. This map details the topography of a remote interior section of the reservation just after the turn of the twenty-first century.
