About this map

The Okanogan River corridor defines the eastern edge of this landscape, where the settlement of Riverside sits at the junction of Tunk Creek Rd and Us-97. This region is characterized by a high density of small, often saline-named water bodies such as Poison Lake, Alkali Lake, and Medicine Lake, which are scattered throughout the basin west of the river. The name Wagonroad Coulee suggests the historical movement of goods and people through these dry drainage channels, connecting the valley floor to the higher elevations of Chilson Mtn and Cave Mtn.

Land use patterns are visible in the concentration of secondary roads like Lime Belt Rd and Seven Lakes Rd, which provide access to the various basins and mineral-inflected landmarks like the Lime Belt. Near the river, modern leisure is represented by Margie's Recreational Vehicle Park, while the surrounding terrain remains dominated by the complex hydrology of the S Fork Pine Cr and numerous smaller lakes like Crumbacker Lake and Lattig Lake.
