About this map

Oroville serves as the focal point of this northern Washington landscape, situated where the Similkameen River meets the Okanogan River. This confluence is marked by a series of significant riverine features, including the broad Driscoll Island, Williams Island, and Eyhott Island. The settlement pattern follows the valley floor, anchored by the Dorothy Scott Airport and Riverview Cem, while the northern reach of the map is dominated by the international waters of Osoyoos Lake.

Upland terrain like Kruger Mtn and Whistler Canyon provide a sharp vertical contrast to the agricultural and industrial activity concentrated near Zosels Mill Pond. The mapping of small water bodies such as Silver Nail Lake, Hot Lake, and Blue Diamond Lake highlights the complex hydrology of the Okanogan Valley. This survey documents the intersection of modern infrastructure and natural waterways just south of the Canadian border, within the eastern bounds of the Okanogan National Forest.
