About this map

The confluence of the Methow River and the Columbia River dominates this late-twentieth-century survey of North Central Washington. The town of Pateros sits at this junction, bordering the waters of Lake Pateros, where industrial and municipal infrastructure like a Sew Disp Plant and Pumping Sta line the shore. This area is characterized by the transition from riverfront utility to the high elevations of the Okanogan National Forest and Buckhorn Mountain.

Resource extraction and recreation exist side-by-side in this landscape. To the west, historical mining activity is evidenced by several Prospect sites and Mineshafts, while the southern reaches feature the developed leisure of Alta Lake State Park and its adjacent Golf Course. Notable land management boundaries are also present, including an Indian Allotment Boundary and the Indian Dan State Wildlife Recreation Area to the northeast.
