About this map

The Pend Oreille River corridor defines this portion of northeastern Washington, where the town of Cusick and the smaller settlement of Usk serve as local hubs along the eastern edge of the Kalispel Indian Reservation. The river's normal pool elevation is meticulously documented, illustrating its role as a central geographic feature. To the west, the landscape transitions into a complex drainage system dominated by Calispell Lake and the meandering Calispell Creek, which is fed by numerous tributaries such as Winchester Creek and Trimble Creek.

Transportation infrastructure reflects the mid-century economy, anchored by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line and significant thoroughfares like Flowery Trail Road. Local social and civic life is anchored by the County Fairgrounds and the Indian Community Hall. The presence of a Racetrack and several Gravel Pits suggests a community organized around both agriculture and light industry during this period.
