1989 Map of Stepstone Creek

About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation encompasses this high-elevation landscape in the late 1980s, where the winding Nespelem River and its numerous tributaries define the local topography. At the northern edge of the map, the settlement of Park City sits near the headwaters, while the southern reaches are marked by the notable waters of Owhi Lake and Little Owhi Lake. This interior portion of Okanogan County is characterized by significant relief, featuring the Broken Mountains and the deep cut of Strawberry Canyon. The drainage network is particularly dense, with Stepstone Creek, North Star Creek, and Kinkaid Creek all flowing through the reservation's timbered hills and valleys. This 1989 data, based on photography from earlier in the decade, provides a clear view of the water resources and landforms that have historically shaped this part of Washington.
