About this map

The Kettle River defines this landscape in northern Ferry County, carving a narrow valley through the high peaks of the Colville National Forest. The settlement of Curlew serves as a focal point in the south, where the Curlew Bridge and Kettle River Bridge provide essential crossings for local transit. Further north, the town of Danville sits right at the international boundary, marked by the Danville Post Office.

Transport and extraction history is evident in the network of forest and mountain roads, such as Morning Star Mine Rd and Big Goosmus Creek Rd. These routes skirt the base of prominent heights like La Fleur Mountain and Snow Peak. The drainage patterns are intricate, with numerous tributaries including Alkali Creek, Day Creek, and West Deer Creek feeding the main river channel, illustrating the rugged geography of this border region.
