About this map

Echo Valley and the surrounding highlands of Stevens County are defined by a complex network of creeks and isolated summits. The landscape is anchored by the community of Echo, where the Bruce Creek Grange serves as a local landmark near the junction of Onion Creek Rd and Gillette Rd. To the north, the small settlement of Lake City is situated near the Lake City Lakes, while the Zema Private Airport provides a distinct aviation footprint in the valley floor.

Transport and topography dictate the layout of this region, with roads like Williams Lake Rd and Evans Cutoff Rd threading between prominent heights such as Staghorn Mtn, Swede Hill, and the evocative Queen of Sheba. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of rural mountain life, tracing the drainages of Bruce Cr, Onion Creek, and Gillette Cr as they carve through the timbered terrain toward the valley floor.
