1992 Map of Gillette Mtn

About this map

Uncle Sam Mountain and Onion Mtn anchor this rugged section of Stevens County, where the industrial legacy of the Pacific Northwest is etched into the landscape. Revised in the early 1990s, the map reveals a history of extraction concentrated in the steep drainages of Clugston Creek and Aladdin Creek. A notable cluster of mineral sites, including the Chloride Queen Mine, Tenderfoot Mine, and the Shoemaker Mine, suggests a period of significant activity that shaped the local geography. Small settlements and operational outposts like Reed Ranch and Comstock provide evidence of the remote residential and ranching patterns that coexisted with the mining industry. The map also traces the winding courses of Weaver Creek and Onion Creek through the Colville National Forest, alongside landmarks such as Jumpoff Joe Bluff and Mount Rogers.
