About this map

The Similkameen River dominates this north-central Washington landscape, cutting a wide valley through the terrain near the international border. This modern survey illustrates the complex drainage systems that feed the primary river, including significant northern tributaries like Testalinden Creek and Richter Creek. Further south, the map documents smaller watercourses such as Shoudy Creek and Shehumption Creek as they descend toward the riverbed. Unlike many neighboring areas defined by dense development, this region remains focused on its natural hydrography, featuring isolated water bodies like Frank Lake and minor flows such as Mak Sikkar Brook. The arrangement of these named creeks and brooks reflects a landscape where water rights and seasonal flows have likely shaped land use and ranching boundaries over the decades.
