About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the massive reach of Omak Lake, which dominates this 2014 topographic study of Okanogan County. The rugged interior is marked by significant topographical relief, from the heights of Eagle Cliffs to the low-lying West Basin and Deep Canyon. This area reflects a remote ranching and agricultural heritage, centered on locations like Saint Marys Farm and the distinctively named Matthew Bill Basin.

A high density of isolated water sources and small basins characterizes the western half of the map, where one can find Patterson Lake, Stink Lake, and Mirror Lake. These springs and small lakes, such as Deadman Spring and Little Lake, indicate a landscape where water management was vital to local life. Transportation through the hills is dictated by the terrain, with routes like Antoine Pass and Omak Lake Rd navigating the complex ridges between the reservation's high plateaus.
