About this map

Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area dominates the western landscape of this Lincoln County survey, where the waters of Franklin D Roosevelt Lake meet a series of dramatic canyon drainages. The shoreline is punctuated by Hawk Creek Harbor and the residential developments around 7 Bays Airport, marking a transition from the water's edge to the higher plateaus of Bachelor Prairie and Swede Flats. The geography is defined by a dense network of coulees and canyons, including Olsen Canyon, Snook Canyon, and Moonshine Canyon, which carve through the terrain toward the Columbia River basin.

Local landmarks such as Hawk Creek Falls and various family-named routes like Mule Ranch Rd N and Reinbold Rd E offer insight into the region's ranching and recreational identity. The map also records the boundary between Ferry Co and Lincoln Co, following the lake's center. This documentation of the Pacific Northwest landscape provides a clear view of how modern transportation networks, such as Miles Creston Rd N, navigate the complex topography of the Inland Empire.
