2023 Map of Nespelem
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Nespelem and the Nespelem Community occupy the lower valley where the Nespelem River descends toward the Columbia basin. This area on the Colville Indian Reservation is marked by significant cultural landmarks, including the Nez Perce Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, and Nespelem City Cem. The landscape transitions from the river bottoms to the higher elevation waters of Owhi Lake and Johnson Lake in the north. Settlement patterns follow the water, with the Little Nespelem River and Peewen Creek cutting through the terrain. Evidence of local family history and land use is preserved in the naming of rural routes such as Joe Moses Rd and Charlie Williams Rd, while the broad expanse of Owhi Flat suggests the agricultural and pastoral character of the upland regions.
