About this map

Joe Lake lies at the center of this Okanogan County landscape, surrounded by a complex system of seasonal water bodies and perennial springs. The terrain is characterized by the broad Timentwa Flats and the Achimin Basin, revealing a geographic pattern of internal drainage common to this part of Washington. Water sources are critical landmarks here, from larger basins like Duley Lake and the twin North Furman Lake and South Furman Lake to smaller features such as Figure Eight Lake and White Lake.

Remote roads like Cold Springs Rd and Timentwa Rd connect these isolated water points, while Timentwa Creek and numerous named springs, including Cunningham Spring and Allen Spring, indicate the historical importance of reliable water for ranching and transit. The map details the intricate Township and Range boundaries that define the Okanogan plateau, providing a clear view of the land divisions across this high-country basin.
