About this map

Franklin D Roosevelt Lake dominates this 2011 survey, illustrating the complex shoreline of the reservoir as it winds through the canyon country of eastern Washington. The land north of the water is situated within the Colville Indian Reservation, where the terrain is marked by steep drainages like Brody Creek and Whitestone Creek. A network of unpaved access routes, including the Ninemile-Hellgate Rd, provides the only passage through this territory.

Evidence of the area's geological and local character is found in the many named landforms along the water's edge, such as Whitestone Rock, Hellgate Island, and Sand Hills. These features, along with specialized labels like Pheasant Springs and Lundstrom Bay, offer a detailed view of the shoreline as it existed in the early 21st century. The map also traces the distinct paths of Hell Gate Canyon and Wynhoff Canyon, showing how the landscape descends into the reservoir basin.
