1980 Map of Omak

About this map

The Okanogan River corridor defines this northern Washington landscape, where the settlements of Omak and Okanogan serve as primary hubs for the surrounding benchlands and valley. This survey illustrates the intricate water management required for agriculture and local industry, featuring an extensive network of an aqueduct and various pumping stations that feed areas like Bide A Wee Flat and Robinson Flat. The transition from the river bottom to the heights of Pogue Mountain and Glover Mountain is marked by a mix of civic infrastructure and mining history, notably the Brook Mine and various prospects. Community development is well-documented through the presence of Wenatchee Valley College, the Mid Valley Hospital, and local landmarks such as the Okanogan Memorial Gardens. Along the river's edge, facilities like the Fish Hatchery and Sewage Disposal point to the essential utilities supporting these growing desert-edge communities in the late twentieth century.
