About this map

Riverside sits at the southern edge of this Okanogan County landscape, where the Okanogan River meets Johnson Creek. The settlement pattern follows the valley floor, anchored by the Riverside Post Office and connected to the broader region via the winding path of Tunk Creek Rd and N Main St. Rising sharply from the valley, the terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Chilson Mountain, Cave Mountain, and Short Mountain, creating a complex network of coulees and high basins.

Glacial depressions across the highlands have formed a dense concentration of small water bodies, including Crumbacker Lake, Medicine Lake, and the curiously named Tule Bill Lake. The map reveals local industry at the Brown - Riverside Quarry and traces historic travel routes through Wagonroad Coulee. The presence of the Lime Belt and various spring-fed basins like Alkali Lake suggest a diverse geological and botanical environment typical of this part of Washington.
