About this map

The Similkameen River snakes through this international border region, defining a landscape of dramatic elevation changes and remote water bodies. In the northeastern corner, the small settlement of Nighthawk sits near the Canadian border, connected by the Loomis-Oroville Rd and Log Camp Rd. To the south, the massive expanse of Palmer Lake dominates the valley floor, flanked by the Palmer Lake Campground and the towering heights of Grandview Mtn.

High-altitude landmarks such as Chopaka Mtn and Little Chopaka Mtn overlook a series of specialized basins including The Salt Lakes, Hot Lake, and Alkali Flat. These features, along with the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winding through the western slopes, highlight the unique hydrology and recreation-focused land use of the area. Genealogists and local historians can find specific points of interest like the Beef Pasture Cabin and the Chopaka Lake Campground near the waters of Chopaka Lake.
