About this map

Douglas County landscape, where high plateaus meet the river valley, is characterized by a series of significant topographic points including Dyer Hill, Windsor Hill, and Landingham Hill. The terrain drops sharply toward the west where Lake Pateros and Lake Entiat define the flow of the Columbia River between Chelan and Douglas counties. The area is marked by numerous springs and lakes tucked into the high country, such as Pattle Big Spring, Alexander Lake, and Corner Lake. Scattered settlements and family-named locations like Howard, Dyer, and Azwell are linked by a network of rural roads that traverse landmarks like Cold Springs Basin and the Sourdough Flats, reflecting the agricultural and ranching history of this central Washington region.
