About this map

The Canada United States border forms the northern edge of this rugged landscape in Stevens Co, where mining and high-elevation terrain define the local geography. Significant mineral interest is evident in the cluster of historic operations including the Easter Sunday Mine near Easter Sunday Lake, the Big Iron Mine, and the White Horse Mine. These extraction points sit within the Colville National Forest, highlighting a period when industrial claims and federal wilderness management overlapped in the mountains north of Colville.

Prominent peaks such as Churchill Mtn and Billy Goat Mountain overlook a network of drainages including Deep Creek and Fisher Creek. Remote infrastructure is limited to a system of Jeep Trails, suggesting a landscape focused on resource extraction and forestry. The southern portion of the map is punctuated by notable landmarks like Hungry Hill and Mineral Mtn, with Lamar Lake providing one of the few named water bodies in the high country.
