About this map

Colville National Forest dominates this landscape, where the Columbia River valley meets the eastern foothills of the Kettle River Range. The settlement of Boyds sits at the edge of the Stevens and Ferry county line, serving as a point of interest for those tracking the Burlington Northern railroad route. This line follows the narrow corridor between the mountains and the river, mirroring the path of Route 395.

Water plays a central role in the topography, from the high Davis Lake and its nearby Campground to the drainages of Deadman Creek and Nancy Creek. The terrain is defined by significant elevations like Hoodoo Mountain and Bisbee Mountain, which rise sharply above Hoodoo Canyon. To the south, Trout Lake and Kelly Lake provide distinct landmarks for geographers and local historians studying the natural boundaries of the region before modern development altered the forest access.
