About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation dominates the southern half of this landscape, its boundary cutting a straight line across the forested terrain. This 1990s record of Ferry County shows a geography defined by the watershed of the West Fork Sanpoil River and several tributary drainages such as Nineteenmile Creek and Anderson Creek. The map documents a history of resource extraction, marked by the Bungalow Mine and multiple Prospects scattered across the slopes near the Okanogan Co Ferry Co line.

Elevations rise toward the prominent Bald Knob, while the northern section transitions into the Colville National Forest. The presence of small water bodies like Long Lake and numerous seasonal Spring labels highlights the intricate hydrology of the high country. For the researcher, the map preserves the exact locations of remote mountain shafts, including a specific Shaft and several Prospect sites, illustrating the mining interest that persisted in these mountains through the late 20th century.
