About this map

The Colville Indian Agency serves as a central landmark in this 2011 survey of the Okanogan highlands, situated just south of the town of Nespelem. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Nespelem River and its tributary, the Little Nespelem River, which drain a complex network of canyons and plateaus. To the northeast, the waters of Owhi Lake are retained by the Owhi Lake Dam, overlooking the broad expanse of Owhi Flat.

The map details the rural infrastructure of the Colville Reservation, showing a web of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes such as BIA 108 Rd and BIA 49 Rd that connect isolated features like Johnson Lake and Joe Moses Creek. This record of the early 21st century provides a clear view of the street grid in Nespelem, from A St to 10th St, and the placement of the Schoolhouse Loop Rd near the tribal administrative hub.
