About this map

Johnny George Mtn and the steep elevation of Whitestone Ridge dominate this rugged section of Ferry County, where the topography falls away toward the Columbia River. The landscape is defined by the massive footprint of the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, which encompasses the waterway and its immediate banks near Sterling Point. This modern survey reveals a complex network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia RD 1008 and Bia RD 1069, providing access to the high ridges and the numerous seasonal drainages like North Fork Threemile Creek.

Land use and conservation priorities are evident in the management of the recreation area and the surrounding flats. Places like Grouse Flats suggest the open plateau character above the creek canyons, while named water sources such as Bear Spring and McDonald Spring serve as vital markers for those navigating the backcountry. The map provides a precise account of the drainage systems feeding into the reservoir, from Sixmile Creek in the north to the confluence of George Creek further south.
