About this map

The waters of Franklin D Roosevelt Lake define the northern landscape of this Lincoln County region, where the impounded Columbia River creates prominent features like Welsh Creek Cove and Elbow Bend. The small settlement of Lincoln sits perched near the shoreline, serving as a focal point for local access roads such as East Mill Rd and Roosevelt Height Rd. To the west, the community of Sterling Valley and the geographic marker of Sterling Point overlook the water, illustrating the area's transition into a recreation-oriented lakeside landscape.

Further inland, the terrain is deeply incised by numerous canyons and draws that drain toward the reservoir. Notable among these are Redwine Canyon, McDowell Canyon, and Underwood Canyon, alongside smaller topographic features like Rattlesnake Draw and Kirby Draw. The road network, including Miles Creston Rd and Copenhaver Rd N, follows these natural contours, connecting the scattered residential pockets and agricultural land typical of this part of eastern Washington.
