2014 Map of Empey Mountain

About this map

Empey Mtn and its surrounding peaks define this portion of Stevens County, where the landscape is carved by the complex drainage systems of Deer Cr and the multiple branches of Chamokane Cr. In the northern reach, Miller Meadow and King Meadow sit near the high point of Cooney Mtn, suggesting a history of seasonal grazing or high-country activity. The lower elevations to the south open into Camas Valley, a traditional landmark and transit point. A dense network of local roads such as Deer Creek Rd, Springdale-Hunters Rd, and BIA Highway 3 reflects the region's development as a rural corridor. The terrain is marked by significant ridgelines including Bottle Ridge and Bear Ridge, with Sorenson Canyon cutting through the southeast, illustrating a rugged topography that has shaped settlement and travel patterns in this part of Washington.
