2020 Map of Friedlander Meadows

About this map

Friedlander Meadows and Sclome Meadow anchor this high-elevation landscape in Ferry County, where a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads facilitates movement through the Colville Indian Reservation. The drainage patterns are defined by numerous seasonal and perennial flows, including the Sclome Cr and Ninemile Cr systems, which carve through the high ground of the Sanpoil River watershed. Ridges and peaks provide clear landmarks for navigation, notably Watson Ridge in the west and the prominent Whitestone Mtn rising in the southeast. This modern survey illustrates how traditional travel routes like the Ninemile-Hellgate Rd continue to serve the region, providing access to timber and grazing lands while following the natural contours established by Sclome Mtn and its surrounding valleys.
