1965 Map of Empey Mountain

About this map

Huckleberry Mountain and Empey Mountain define the high country of Stevens County, where the landscape transitions into the broad Camas Valley. This mid-century topography reveals an area dominated by the hydrology of the Chamokane Creek system, including its Middle Fork and South Fork. The southern edge of the map is defined by the Spokane Indian Reservation Boundary, illustrating the intersection of public and tribal lands. Resource extraction is evident through scattered markers for a Mine, a Prospect, and multiple Gravel Pits along the creek beds. These features, along with several Jeep Trails cutting through Sorenson Canyon and near Cooney Mountain, show a working landscape of timber and mineral interest in the years following the 1965 field check.
