2014 Map of Moses Meadows

About this map

Colville Indian Reservation lands dominate this part of the northern Washington interior, where the high country transitions between national forest and tribal territories. The landscape is defined by its drainages and meadows, most notably Moses Meadows and the smaller Cox Meadow to the north. These open clearings among the timber provided essential grazing and transit points for early inhabitants and later forestry operations. Water sources like Cox Spring and high-altitude peaks including Granite Mtn and Little Moses Mtn offer landmarks for those tracing the geographic history of Okanogan County. The network of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, such as BIA 1014 Rd, shows the infrastructure required to navigate the ridges of Mackey Ridge and the winding course of Moses Cr. This 2014 survey documents the enduring physical character of these remote uplands.
