2014 Map of Nespelem

About this map

The Colville Indian Agency serves as a central hub in this section of the Colville Indian Reservation, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Nespelem River and the Little Nespelem River. The town of Nespelem is clearly laid out with its grid of streets, including A St through D St, situated just south of the Nespelem Community. This area represents a vital administrative and residential core for the reservation, bounded by distinctive geological features like Kroll Canyon and the broad expanse of Owhi Flat. Water is a primary feature of the geography, with Owhi Lake dominating the northeastern corner and numerous smaller tributaries such as Joe Moses Cr and Poween Cr draining the surrounding uplands. The road network, largely comprised of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like BIA 13 Rd and Cache Creek Rd, illustrates the connectivity between these highland lakes and the river valley settlements.
