About this map

Narcisse Sch stands in the northwestern corner of this mountainous region of Stevens County, situated near the waters of Narcisse Creek. This mid-century survey illustrates a landscape dedicated to conservation and natural resource management, dominated by the Little Pend Oreille Game Range and the Colville National Forest. The map documents the specific locations of a Gaging Station and Game Range Headquarters, which served as administrative hubs for managing the timber and wildlife of the Little Pend Oreille River drainage.

Industrial activity is noted through scattered mines and quarries, particularly around Brewer Mtn and Cliff Ridge. For local history enthusiasts, the map records the former location of Bingville (Site) along the North Fork Chewelah Creek. The presence of Starvation Lake and Starvation Flat contrasts with the multiple small lakes and campgrounds, such as McDowell Lake and Winslow Lake, that dot the higher elevations of this forested terrain.
