About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation encompasses this section of Ferry County, dominated by high ridges and alpine meadows. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, spanning from Watson Ridge in the west to the prominent Whitestone Mtn and Whitestone Ridge in the southeast. Water drainage patterns are intricate, with numerous streams such as Olds Cr, Selome Cr, and the S Fork Ninemile Cr carving through the high country.

Evidence of resource management and early twentieth-century survey work is found at the MS 756 mining claim. Accessibility to these higher elevations like Friedlander Meadows and Sclome Meadow is provided by a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including the Ninemile-Hellgate Rd. The map illustrates the specialized geography of the reservation, where traditional land use and modern infrastructure meet in the high meadows of the Inland Northwest.
