About this map

Clayton and the southern shores of Loon Lake define the lower half of this landscape at the border of Stevens and Spokane Counties. The terrain is characterized by significant local relief, rising from the waters of Deer Lake to the summits of Blue Grouse Mtn, Deer Lake Mtn, and Loon Lake Mtn. This topographic survey captures the interface between shoreline development and the higher elevations of the Colville National Forest region.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Loon Lake Community Cem and the Hill Cem near Clayton, while traces of early infrastructure are visible along Railroad Ave and numerous lakeside access roads like Pebble Beach Rd and Tamarack Bay Rd. The drainage patterns of Dragoon Creek and Beaver Creek further illustrate the area's natural hydrology, supporting a mix of residential lakeside clusters and open woodland.
