1929 Map of Colville

About this map

Colville and the surrounding river valleys are revealed in a period of intense extraction and early settlement, surveyed by S.N. Stoner and W.G. Carson in the late 1920s. The landscape is defined by the Columbia River and its tributaries, where the Great Northern Railway follows the water's edge to serve the region's mining and timber interests. The map documents a dense network of rural infrastructure, from the Old Fort Colville site to numerous remote educational outposts like Hansen Sch and Crystal Falls Sch.
