About this map

Franklin D Roosevelt Lake dominates the center of this landscape, its expansive waters filling the Columbia River valley and creating the intricate shoreline of the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. The flooding of the valley transformed the local geography, turning former canyon walls into prominent features like China Bluff and Clark Point. To the north, the Sanpoil River Arm extends toward the Sanpoil River valley, flanked by smaller water bodies such as French Johns Lake.

The complex topography surrounding the reservoir is marked by deep incisions like Speigle Canyon and Penix Canyon, which cut through the high ground above the lake level. Evidence of modern habitation and access is visible in the network of local routes, including Swawilla Basin Rd and Williams Flat Rd, which navigate the steep terrain. This map serves as a contemporary record of the shoreline and land management within the recreation area at the border of Ferry and Lincoln counties.
