2017 Map of Olsen Canyon

About this map

Franklin D Roosevelt Lake and the Columbia River dominate the western edge of this landscape, where the water forms the border between Ferry and Lincoln counties. The area is defined by a series of deep drainages cutting through the high plateau, including Olsen Canyon, Snook Canyon, and Moonshine Canyon. Near the shoreline, the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area provides public access to the waterfront, while the community at 7 Bays Airport serves as a modern aviation and residential hub above Hawk Creek Harbor. Inland, the terrain levels into expansive stretches such as Swede Flats and Bachelor Prairie. These high plains are crisscrossed by rural routes like Miles Creston Rd and Mule Ranch Rd N, reflecting the region's agricultural and ranching heritage. Near the confluence of Hawk Cr and the reservoir, Hawk Creek Falls marks a significant local landmark.
