About this map

Whitestone Rock stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the wide expanse of the Columbia River where it forms Franklin D Roosevelt Lake. This 2017 survey details the complex shoreline of the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, capturing a landscape defined by deep inlets like Lundstrom Bay and Jones Bay. The terrain rises sharply from the water into a series of named drainages, including Penix Canyon and Wynhoff Canyon, which cut through the high plateau country of the Sand Hills and Whitestone Ridge.

A network of local access roads such as Ninemile-Hellgate Rd and Jones Bay Rd N provides the primary infrastructure for this rural area along the Ferry and Lincoln County line. The map highlights numerous small water features and springs, including Pheasant Springs and Dick Cr, which are vital in this arid region of eastern Washington. Landforms like Hellgate Island and Hell Gate Canyon emphasize the geographic character of the river's path before the modern impoundment.
