About this map

Oroville serves as the gateway between the United States and Canada, situated just south of the international border where Osoyoos Lake flows into the Okanogan River. This 2001 revision illustrates the complex irrigation and water management required for the region's agriculture, evidenced by numerous pumping stations, gaging stations, and siphons. The town layout is clearly defined, featuring the Post Office, schools, and the Dorothy Scott Airport.

Resource extraction and recreation define the surrounding topography. To the north and west, Kruger Mountain and Copper Mountain are dotted with numerous prospects and specific operations like the OK Copper Mine and Silver Nail Mine. Public lands are prominent, including the Lake Osoyoos State Park and the extensive Driscoll Island State Wildlife Area, which encompasses Driscoll Island, Williams Island, and Eyhott Island at the confluence of the Okanogan and Similkameen River.
