About this map

The Colville River corridor serves as the industrial and transport spine of this 1920s landscape, where the Great Northern railroad links the settlements of Chewelah, Valley, and Springdale. This era marks a peak in mineral extraction across the mountains, evidenced by an extensive network of workings like the Amazon Mine, Blue Star Mine, and the Finch Magnesite Quarry. Near the town of Chewelah, the Northwestern Magnesite Plant stands as a focal point for the regional economy, processing materials drawn from the surrounding peaks.
