In Examining the Upper Columbia River, Symons states, "I examined the river at the Little Dalles, Kettle Falls, and Grand Rapids, and traversed the river in a small boat from the last-named rapids, near the mouth of the Colville River, to the mouth of the Snake River, making as careful a survey as possible." "The report embraces a description of the portion of the river examined and the lands in its vicinity, and also of the other portions of the Upper Columbia and the country drained by it and its tributaries." "I have sought to show the economical relations of the Columbia to the surrounding country, and the importance of making that portion of it lying within the territory of the United States navigable as far as practicable, and have suggested a plan for doing so." Report discusses the Upper Columbia River above Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids to the Spokane River, Columbia River from the Spokane River to Lake Chelan, and Lake Chelan to Snake River.
