2020 Map of Boundary

About this map

The Columbia River flows through the northern reaches of Stevens County, marking a landscape where the river’s historical path meets the expansive waters of Franklin D Roosevelt Lake. This mountainous terrain is defined by significant elevations such as Mitchell Mtn, Moraski Mtn, and Lime Creek Mtn, which frame the narrow valleys and flats. Human presence is etched into the topography through a network of rural routes like Northport Waneta Rd and Aladdin Rd, serving isolated points of interest including the Schmidt Ranch Airport and the Forest Home Cem. The presence of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winding through the southern peaks suggests a transition from industrial and ranching uses to modern recreational conservation. Notable water features like Deadmans Eddy and the steep walls of Black Canyon indicate the geological intensity of the drainage basins feeding into the river system.
