About this map

Pend Oreille River flows across the northern edge of this territory, shaping the geography of small settlements like Dalkena, Furport, and Wolfred. This corner of Washington is defined by its complex hydrography, ranging from the large recreational waters of Diamond Lake and Camp Cowles in the south to smaller, tucked-away features like Mountain Meadows Lake and Mallard Marsh. The landscape is a network of ridges and basins, punctuated by landmarks such as Saddle Mountain and Furport Hill.

Water management and local geography are closely linked through structures like the Kent Meadows Lake Dam and the Lake Marney Dam. These developments, alongside the winding courses of McCloud Creek and Kent Creek, illustrate how the area's natural drainage has been adapted for local use. The map also captures the transition between the river-valley economy and the southern drainage toward the Little Spokane River.
