2020 Map of Arden

About this map

Colville Valley and its surrounding highlands define this landscape in Stevens County, where the meandering Colville River flows northward through a broad agricultural and marshy basin. The settlement of Arden sits along the eastern valley wall, serving as a historic point of reference along the Old Arden Hwy. The terrain varies significantly from the flat river valley to the prominent heights of Dunn Mtn in the southwest and the elevated Swiss Valley further south. Local water features like Rocky Lake, Blue Lake, and Lenz Lake dot the ridges and valleys, illustrating the complex glacial and fluvial history of the region. A dense network of rural roads such as Orin Rice Rd and Valley Westside Rd connects scattered farmsteads and the northern community of Orin, revealing a land use pattern focused on ranching and timber along the edges of the Marble Valley.
