About this map

The Okanogan River carves a deep valley through this landscape, separating the municipal heart of Okanogan from the high plateaus to the east. As seen in the early 1980s, the town's grid is concentrated along the western bank, featuring local landmarks like Alma Park and the Museum. This map documents a critical intersection of political and natural boundaries, as the southeastern quadrant is dominated by the Colville Indian Reservation.

Upland from the river, the terrain rises toward Jackass Butte and Soap Lake Mountain, where the land is dotted with numerous small bodies of water including Cameron Lake, Little Goose Lake, and Spiegelberg Lake. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the network of light-duty roads like Conconully Rd and various industrial sites, including multiple Gravel Pit operations and a Borrow Pit, which underscore the region's mid-century development and resource extraction.
