1965 Map of Dunn Mountain

About this map

Dunn Mountain dominates this portion of Stevens County, with its peak reaching an elevation of 5340 feet. In the mid-1960s, the surrounding landscape was defined by its scattered mountain schools and isolated rural infrastructure. The eastern edge of the map transitions into the Colville Valley, while the central terrain is carved by the drainages of Stensgar Creek and Cassner Creek. This era of development is marked by a network of unimproved roads and jeep trails that connected local landmarks like the Miller Reservoir and the Summit Valley Cem. The map reveals a specific social geography of the time, where education was decentralized across several small facilities including the West Side Sch, Sunnyvale Sch, and Summit Valley Sch. These features, along with names like Habura Road and Smith Road, offer a detailed look at the family-named landmarks and essential community sites of this Washington highland.
