About this map

Colville National Forest dominates this Ferry County landscape, where the confluence of several river forks creates a complex drainage system. The N Fork Sanpoil River, Middle Fork Sanpoil River, and S Fork Sanpoil River converge in this territory, defining the movement and settlement patterns of the region. High elevation landmarks like Cooke Mtn, Belcher Mtn, and Midnight Ridge tower over the valleys, providing a dramatic topographical backdrop for the forest's interior.

Transportation history is etched into the terrain through various access points, including the Fish Hatchery Rd and the more historical Old Stage route near the northeast corner. These roads, along with the Old Kettle Falls Rd, highlight the importance of connecting this remote timber and water-rich area to larger regional hubs. The presence of numerous land parcels designated as "PB" (Protracted Blocks) reflects the ongoing management and survey history of these public forest lands.
