About this map

Franklin D Roosevelt Lake dominates the southeastern quadrant of this landscape, defining the local topography and drainage patterns during the early 21st century. The map illustrates a network of waterways that feed into the reservoir, including Ninemile Creek and Canteen Creek, which carve through the terrain to reach the lake's edge. The settlement of Ninemile sits at a critical junction where the upland flats meet the water, serving as a focal point for local transit via the Ninemile-Hellgate Rd.

Distinctive landforms like Ninemile Flat and Rima Flat indicate the stepped nature of the terrain above the river valley. Further north, Wilmont Creek and Cougar Creek drain the higher elevations near Mitchell Point. The presence of Ninemile Falls near the confluence of Little Ninemile Creek provides a specific point of interest for those tracking historical water features and natural landmarks along this section of the Columbia River drainage.
