About this map

Pateros sits at the confluence of the Methow River and the Columbia River in this late-twentieth-century landscape. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, with Buckhorn Mountain and Goat Mtn overlooking the river valley and the waters of Lake Pateros. Historical resource extraction is evident through scattered Mineshafts, a Prospect, and several Quarry and Gravel Pit locations, particularly along the eastern riverbanks.

Public lands and recreational boundaries shape much of the surrounding terrain, including the Okanogan National Forest to the southwest and the Indian Dan State Wildlife Recreation Area to the northeast. An Indian Allotment Boundary cuts through the southeastern portion of the map, while Alta Lake State Park provides a focus for activity near Alta Lake. Infrastructure like the Wooden Pole Trans Line and a Radio Facility contrast with natural features like Watson Draw and Rock Pinnacle.
