2011 Map of Monse

About this map

The Okanogan River carves a central path through this portion of Okanogan County, dictating the placement of infrastructure and small communities in the early 21st century. The settlement of Monse sits along the river's eastern bank, while further upstream, the small locales of Ophir and Wakefield mark the historical corridor of the Old Highway 97. This landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the irrigated agricultural activity at Brewster Flat and the arid, coulee-like terrain punctuated by Soap Lake and BJ Lake to the northeast. Cultural markers, such as the Fort Okanogan Memorial Cemetery, provide vital links to the area's heritage near the Crazy Rapids Reservoir Dam. The map details an extensive network of rural routes, including Wakefield Cameron Lake Rd and Monse Bridge Rd, which connect the canyon-scored uplands of Davis Canyon and Dan Canyon to the valley floor.
