1989 Map of Bald Knob

About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation and two national forests converge at this mountainous section of the Pacific Northwest, captured in the late 1980s. The landscape is defined by the West Fork Sanpoil River and its numerous tributaries, including Gold Creek and Nineteenmile Creek. This period of the landscape reflects a legacy of resource extraction and land management, with several scattered Mine and Prospect labels indicating historic mineral exploration. A specific focus on local mining history is found in the south, where the Bungalow Mine sits near Bungalow Creek. Large tracts of the Colville National Forest and Okanogan National Forest dominate the northern terrain, separated by the Okanogan Co Ferry Co boundary line. Notable landmarks such as Bald Knob and Long Lake provide distinct navigational points for those studying the topography and hydrology of the region.
