About this map

Cooke Mountain and Belcher Mountain anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Colville National Forest. The 1992 survey documents a region defined by its water management and resource extraction, notably the North Fork Sanpoil River and South Fork Sanpoil River. Human intervention is evident through the presence of a Diversion Dam and an associated Diversion Ditch near a Settling Pond, reflecting the infrastructure required for local industry or water diversion in Ferry County.

Prospectors and geologists can trace various industrial signatures, including a labeled Mineshaft, several Gravel Pit sites, and multiple Mine and Prospect labels. These features, alongside the Ninth (9th) Standard Parallel North, provide a clear view of how the land was partitioned and utilized in the late twentieth century. Drainage patterns are well-defined by Lambert Creek, Mires Creek, and Bracken Creek.
