1989 Map of Frosty Meadow

About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation encompasses this entire landscape in Ferry County, defined by a dense network of watercourses and high-elevation terrain. This 1989 provisional edition reveals a region where the drainage patterns shape the human footprint, as seen in the way Frosty Meadow Creek and Ninemile Creek carve through the center of the sheet. Smaller tributaries, often bearing the names of early settlers or prospectors such as Pollock Creek, Jones Creek, and Fay Creek, feed into larger systems like Bridge Creek and Wells Creek. The map serves as a detailed record of the reservation's geography in the late twentieth century, showing the relationship between the natural water systems and the established township lines of T 30 N through T 32 N.
