About this map

Camas Valley and the surrounding peaks of the Huckleberry Mountain range characterize this portion of Stevens County. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of Chamokane Creek, which draws from several branches including the Middle Fork and South Fork. These watercourses create a distinct drainage pattern through the high country, with significant elevations at Empey Mountain and Cooney Mountain.

Resource extraction and backcountry access are evident throughout the mid-1960s landscape. Industrial markers like a Mine, Prospect, and Gravel Pit appear alongside a network of high-altitude routes such as the Deer Mountain Trail and the Old Deer Mountain Trail. The southern portion of the map is significantly marked by the Spokane Indian Reservation Boundary, indicating a transition in land administration and history.
