About this map

Colville serves as the busy center of this 1952 survey, anchored by its Courthouse, City Hall, and the Hdqrs Colville Nat'l Forest. The town's economic foundations are clearly visible in the extensive industrial infrastructure, including the Great Northern rail lines and Palmer Siding. North of the main settlement lies the Pinkney City (Site) and the Fort Colville Historical Mon, marking the early frontier heritage of Stevens County.

The landscape is defined by the broad Colville River valley, bounded by the Huckleberry Range and Colville Mountain. Industrial activity is scattered across the terrain, from the Bonanza Lead Mill to various gravel pits and tailings ponds. Local community life is evidenced by family-named landmarks like the Phipps Homestead, rural centers like the Colville Valley Grange, and the Highland Sch in the northwest hills.
