2014 Map of Addy

About this map

The Colville River carves a broad agricultural path through the Colville Valley on this Stevens County survey, highlighting the corridor where transportation and settlement have historically concentrated. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe railway and Us 395 serve as the primary north-south arteries, linking the communities of Addy, Bluecreek, and the edge of Chewelah. This area reflects a diverse rural economy where valley floor farming meets the industrial extraction of the Red Quarry and the expansive timberlands of the Colville National Forest. Surrounding the valley, prominent peaks like Gold Hill, Deer Mtn, and the Iron Mountains define the local topography, while smaller aviation needs are met by the Bluecreek Airport. The mapping details the transition from the fertile river basin to the rugged drainages of McKale Canyon and Stranger Cr.
