1905 Map of Okanogan

About this map

The Columbia River and Okanogan River dominate this 1903 survey, meeting at a critical junction near the settlement of Bruster. Before the era of modern bridges, river transit relied on a network of cable crossings, including Andrews Ferry, Bruster Ferry, and Bridgeport Ferry. The landscape is a mix of high plateaus and alluvial flats, such as Bruster Flat, Tarheel Flat, and Pogue Flat. To the east, the vast expanse of the Colville Indian Reservation is depicted, dotted with numerous small lakes like Salt Lake.
