2023 Map of Stepstone Creek

About this map

The Nespelem River winds through this portion of Okanogan County, carving a central drainage corridor defined by numerous tributary streams and seasonal watercourses. This landscape is characterized by its hydrological network, where Stepstone Creek and North Star Creek feed into the primary river system. High-altitude water bodies like Gold Lake and Little Owhi Lake provide significant geographic landmarks within the surrounding terrain. The map documents an extensive network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, such as Bia Rd 116 and Bia RD 62, which suggest a land management pattern focused on resource access and connectivity within the Colville Reservation area. Notable landmarks like Central Peak Rd and Gold Lake Rd anchor the local transportation grid, providing essential reference points for researchers studying the modern infrastructure and natural hydrology of this Washington interior.
