About this map

Riverside sits at the southeastern bend of the Okanogan River, serving as a focal point for this high-desert landscape in North Central Washington. The map highlights a remarkable concentration of small water bodies north of the town, including Medicine Lake, Booher Lake, and the Twin Lakes chain, many accessed by local routes like Seven Lakes Rd. This concentration of surface water within the complex terrain of the Lime Belt and Wagonroad Coulee suggests a unique geological and hydrologic pocket distinct from the drier surrounding heights.

Prominent summits like Cave Mtn and Chilson Mtn define the western horizon, while Short Mtn overlooks the eastern drainage. Local history is etched into the landscape through labels like Wagon Trail Rd and Crumbacher Rd, tracing old movement patterns through the coulees. The map also documents the bifurcated flow of N Fork Pine Cr and S Fork Pine Cr, which drain the northern draws toward the river valley.
