About this map

Rock Lake dominates the center of this landscape, its elongated reach flanked by numerous smaller water bodies and the winding course of Kamiache Creek. The settlement of Lavista sits near the southwestern shore of the lake, adjacent to Lavista Lake and the inlet known as the Arm. The terrain is characterized by a series of basins and depressions that hold seasonal or permanent water, such as Alkali Lake, Tule Lake, and Egg Pond.

Modern recreation and historic infrastructure overlap along the eastern side of the water, where the Palouse To Cascades State Park Trl follows the rugged contours of the shoreline. Genealogists may find value in the location of Eaton Cem on the western edge of the quadrangle. The map also documents local landmarks like Johnsons Beach and Slaughter Pen Bay, alongside a network of rural roads including Rock Lake Rd and Gene Webb Rd.
