1904 Map of Osoyoos

USGS Topo · Published 1913

About this map

Mining and ranching define the northern borderlands of Okanogan County at the turn of the century. The terrain is marked by significant early industrial sites like the Okanogan Free Gold Mine near the Similkameen River and the Poland China Mine to the east, reflecting the hard-rock mining boom that drew settlers to this portion of the Colville National Forest. The map documents the primary transit corridor along the Okanogan River, where the town of Oroville sits at the southern end of Osoyoos Lake. Beyond the river valleys, the landscape transitions into high-elevation plateaus and isolated homesteads. Landmarks such as Best's Ranch and Huntley Ranch suggest the agricultural footprint of the era, while small settlements like Chesaw, Molson, and Bolster served as remote hubs for the surrounding peaks and valleys like Aeneas Valley and Chewiliken Valley.
