About this map

The Spokane River Arm of the Columbia River dominates this section of the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, where the waterway carves through the border of Stevens and Lincoln counties. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, rising from the waters of Porcupine Bay to prominent high points like Lilienthal Mtn and Pitney Butte.

Remote roads and family-named landmarks provide evidence of the region's land use, from the Orazada Mine Rd in the northeast corner to the agricultural pocket of Enterprise Valley. Smaller water bodies like McCoy Lake and drainage systems including Ferguson Cr and Blue Creek illustrate the complex natural irrigation of the upland plateaus. This area, largely managed for recreation and natural resources, maintains a sparse settlement pattern connected by Bureau of Indian Affairs routes and local loops like Egypt Loop Rd.
