2017 Map of The Pothole

About this map

The Okanogan River flows south through this 2017 landscape, anchoring a corridor of development between Riverside and Omak. The map illustrates the concentration of residential and agricultural lands along the river valley floor, where streets like Red Apple Dr and Orchard View Dr reflect the region's orchard economy. Higher elevations to the east reveal a more dramatic topography, characterized by the Wanacut Basin and the distinct depression known as The Pothole. This transition from the river bottom to the high plateau involves several named drainages, including Swipkin Canyon and Pothole Canyon. Local landmarks such as the Riverview Cem and the Wings For Christ Airport provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the modern footprint of these Okanogan County communities.
