About this map

Rice stands as a focal point on the eastern shore of the Columbia River in this modern topographic survey. The landscape is defined by the massive impoundment of Franklin D Roosevelt Lake, which fills the valley floor and creates features like Rotter Bay and surrounds Barnaby Island. This area, part of the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, shows a transition from the water's edge to high peaks such as Staehly Mtn and Butcher Mtn.

Evidence of long-standing local community life is preserved in the location of Cully Memorial Cem near the intersection of Orin Rice Rd and Goddard Rd. The drainage patterns of Quillisascut Cr and Cheweka Cr illustrate the rugged geography that leads into Pleasant Valley. These details provide a clear view of the road network, including the Inchelium Hwy, serving the scattered homesteads and recreation sites within the Colville National Forest.
