2014 Map of Deer Lake

About this map

Deer Lake and the northern reaches of Clayton define this portion of the border between Stevens and Spokane counties. The landscape is characterized by prominent peaks, including Blue Grouse Mtn and Deer Lake Mtn, which frame the deep basin of the lake. Toward the south, the settlement of Clayton lies near the headwaters of Beaver Cr, while the village of Loon Lake occupies the western edge of the quadrangle. For genealogists and local historians, the Zion Hill Cem is a notable landmark situated near W Mason Rd. Transportation throughout the area is facilitated by a network of rural routes such as Gardenspot Rd and Us-395, reflecting a transition from the agricultural and timbered uplands to the smaller residential clusters surrounding the various water bodies and creek drainages like Dragoon Cr.
