About this map

The Little Spokane River winds through the southeastern corner of this landscape, anchoring the community of Elk, where local roads converge near the Elk Heights Airport. To the west, the expansive waters of Eloika Lake dominate the valley, featuring Pocahontas Bay along its eastern shore. This 2020 survey illustrates a region defined by its transitional terrain, where the open spaces of Fertile Valley meet the higher elevations of Bare Mtn and the passage through Rogers Pass.

Residential development and recreational sites are scattered throughout the timbered hills, including Camp Joubert and the small settlement at Shadow Valley. A dense network of named local roads, such as Fertile Valley Rd and Diamond Creek Rd, provides a clear view of contemporary land use and property access. The map also traces several small drainages, including Otter Cr and Moon Cr, which feed the various lakes and ponds that dot the northern Spokane and southern Pend Oreille county line.
