1953 Map of Bald Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation dominates this mid-century landscape in the heart of Washington's northern highlands, where the Sanpoil River and Nespelem River carve through the forested terrain. This 1953 survey captures an era of resource extraction and mountain accessibility, evidenced by the Bungalow Mine and scattered prospects near Bald Knob. The presence of the Lookout Trail and Swan Lake Trail suggests a network used for fire management and backcountry transit through the Colville National Forest and Chelan National Forest. Notable water bodies like Owhi Lake and Little Owhi Lake provide clear landmarks within the reservation boundaries. This map is a significant record for understanding the intersection of tribal lands, federal forest management, and early mining activity before more modern road developments altered the high-country travel routes.
