About this map

The Colville Valley floor and the rising slopes of the Colville Mountains dominate this 1965 survey, which illustrates a landscape transition from agricultural bottoms to managed timber and game lands. The Great Northern railroad parallels the Colville River, marking the primary transportation artery through the valley, while higher elevations show the trace of an Old Railroad Grade near Narcisse Creek. Local educational history is anchored by the Twelvemile Sch near the confluence of Twelvemile Creek and the river.

Industrial activity is evidenced by several Prospect markings and a Gravel Pit along the valley edge. Large tracts of land are dedicated to the Colville National Forest and the Little Pend Oreille Game Range, highlighting the regional emphasis on conservation and resource management during the mid-twentieth century. Distinctive landmarks like Castle Rock and The Butte provide clear navigational points overlooking the Little Pend Oreille River.
