About this map

Oroville serves as the focal point of this northern Washington survey, situated at the confluence of the Similkameen River and the Okanogan River. The landscape is dominated by the international waters of Osoyoos Lake, which stretches north across the Canada United States border. A distinct network of infrastructure supports the town, including the Burlington Northern railroad, the Dorothy Scott Airport, and critical water management features like the Pumping Station and multiple Gaging Stations.

The rugged elevation of Kruger Mountain and Copper Mountain to the west contrasts with the valley floor's developments, such as the Drive-in Theater and Lake Osoyoos State Park. Resource extraction and land use are evident through the Ok-Copper Mine, various Prospects, and the expansive Okanogan National Forest. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Riverview Cemetery and the presence of numerous small water bodies like Blue Diamond Lake and Silver Nail Lake.
