About this map

Colville Valley and the surrounding highlands of Stevens County are documented in this 2017 study, showing a landscape defined by expansive meadows and narrow canyons. The area is anchored by the Colville River in the northeast, where the small settlement of Grays is located. The map reveals a complex drainage system, including Deer Cr and Chamokane Cr, which carve through the terrain near landmarks like Craney Hill and Lyons Hill.

A network of local roads such as Springdale-Hunters Rd and Hesseltine Rd connects isolated rural enclaves like Forest Center and Cline. These routes trace the natural topography, winding through Haverland Meadows and Camas Valley. The presence of several family-named canyons, including Sorenson Canyon and Hooker Canyon, suggests a long history of local land use and homesteading in this pocket of Eastern Washington.
