About this map

Bangs Mountain and the high ridges of Stevens County dominate this landscape, which transitions sharply from the forested peaks of the Colville National Forest down to the western shores of Franklin D Roosevelt Lake. This impoundment of the Columbia River defines the eastern edge of the map, where the waters cover the historic Rickey Rapids near Rickey Point. The area's industrial past and recreational present are both evident through the mapping of the Acme Mine and Alma Mine in the southeast, contrasted by a network of public access points including the Sherman Creek Campground, Haag Cove Campground, and Lake Ellen Campground.

A network of mountain roads like Bangs Mountain Rd and Trout Lake Rd provide access to the interior, where Trout Lake and its namesake creek drain the northern slopes. The mapping of French Point Rocks and various draws, such as Donaldson Draw, reveals the complex drainage patterns feeding into the reservoir. This edition captures the infrastructure of the early 21st century, from the Inchelium Hwy to the remote Bangs Mountain Vista.
