About this map

Joe Lake lies at the center of this Okanogan County landscape, surrounded by a complex network of seasonal water bodies and terminal basins. The terrain is defined by its hydrography, featuring the distinctively shaped Figure Eight Lake and White Lake to the north, while the Timentwa Flats provide a level expanse amidst the local relief. These natural catchments were critical to early ranching and land use in this part of Washington, as evidenced by the dispersed water sources like Greenaway Spring, Cunningham Spring, and Allen Spring.

Transport through the area follows historical corridors such as Columbia River Rd and Omak Lake Rd in the northeast, while Cameron Lake Rd skirts the western edge near Duley Lake. The map reveals a transition from the higher elevations of the Achimin Basin in the south toward the cluster of Furman lakes, including North Furman Lake, South Furman Lake, and Snyder Lake. This survey provides a modern look at the Public Land Survey System boundaries, specifically across Townships 30N through 32N.
