About this map

Chamokane Cr and Tshimakain Cr converge near the community of Ford, defining a landscape where waterway networks and early road corridors meet in Stevens County. The area is characterized by distinct geographic zones such as Walkers Prairie to the northeast and the elevated terrain of Happy Hill and Bishop Canyon to the south. This mapping reveals a rural infrastructure built around ranching and forestry, marked by family-named routes like Lyons Hill Rd, Moses Creek Rd, and Martha Boardman Rd.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by established sites including Pleasant View Cem and Hubert Cem. The presence of Reservation Rd and various BIA routes, such as BIA Hwy 5 and BIA Hwy 8, reflects the geographic relationship between public lands and the nearby reservation boundaries. From the drainages of Sams Cr to the small tracks along Rail Cr, the map documents a network of rural life in the Pacific Northwest.
