About this map

Rufus Woods Lake dominates this stretch of the Columbia River along the border of the Colville Indian Reservation. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the riverbank to the high plateau of Pearl Hill and the distinctive Ragged Butte. The landscape is dotted with numerous small water bodies and springs, such as Klinkhammer Lakes, Judson Lake, and Gladys Spring, which served as critical water sources in this arid environment.

Evidence of early 20th-century settlement and agricultural patterns is visible at Pearl (Site) and Nilles Corner, where the Pearl Hill Road connects disparate farmsteads and rural infrastructure. The map records a complex network of 4WD trails navigating the steep breaks of Box Canyon and Achimin Basin, illustrating the challenges of transport before modern improvements. The prominent Stubblefield Point stands as a significant landmark overlooking the river's bend.
