1985 Map of Adams Mtn

About this map

Mining operations dominate this mid-1980s terrain in Stevens County, where the southern slopes of Huckleberry Mountain meet the northern edge of the Spokane Indian Reservation. This map documents a high-altitude industrial landscape defined by numerous mineral extraction sites, including the Cleveland Mine in the northeast and the Germania Mine in the southwest. Between these points, smaller operations like the Turk Mine, Togo Mine, and Deer Trail Mine follow the rugged drainages of Cedar Canyon and Alder Creek. The settlement of Turk sits as a lonely outlier near the western boundary. Hydrologically, the area divides between the Hunter Creek system flowing north and the South Fork Chamokane Creek heading south toward the reservation, illustrating the complex watershed that governed early access to these remote mountain claims.
