About this map

Spokane Indian Reservation lands dominate this study of the terrain around Wellpinit, providing a detailed look at the tribal headquarters and surrounding topography in the early twenty-first century. The settlement of Wellpinit serves as the primary hub, where the Wellpinit Cutoff Rd and Sherwood Loop Rd converge near the Chief Lot Cem. This cemetery offers a significant point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing families within the reservation.

The landscape is defined by the drainages of Wellpinit Cr and Little Chamokane Cr, the latter of which features the Little Chamokane Falls in the southeastern quadrant. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Bottle Ridge to the north and Round Mtn, while an extensive network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, such as BIA Highway 5 and BIA Highway 18, reveals the modern infrastructure connecting these interior plateaus.
