About this map

Joe Lake and the broad Timentwa Flats define this high-plateau landscape in north-central Washington. The terrain is a complex mosaic of small lakes and seasonal ponds, including Figure Eight Lake, White Lake, and the twin N Furman and S Furman Lakes. These water bodies are connected by a sparse network of ranch and back-country roads like Timentwa Rd and Cold Springs Rd, reflecting the area's grazing and agricultural history.

Water remains the primary focal point for human activity in this arid region, evidenced by named water sources such as Cunningham Spring, Greenaway Spring, and Allen Spring. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Achimin Basin, while the western edge is bordered by Cameron Lake Rd. This survey documents a quiet interior portion of the county, where the arrangement of lakes and roads has changed little over the decades.
