1952 Map of Gillette Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Colville National Forest dominates this section of Stevens County, where the steep terrain of Uncle Sam Mountain and Onion Mountain gave rise to a significant mining economy in the mid-20th century. Numerous claims are scattered across the drainage basins of Onion Creek and Clugston Creek, including the Galena Farm Mine, Lucky Boy Mine, and the Echo Mine. The map reveals the extractive history of the region through specifically named sites like the Marble Quarry and Big Chief Mine, while Reed Ranch provides a rare point of named habitation amidst the forest. A network of creeks, such as Indian Creek and Gillette Creek, carve through the ridges, illustrating how the topography dictated the placement of early mountain roads and prospecting trails.
