1985 Map of Hunters

About this map

Hunters and Fruitland serve as the primary residential hubs in this Stevens County landscape, situated just east of the expansive Columbia River and Lake Roosevelt. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, ranging from the river banks to high points like Bald and Boundary Butte. Tribal lands are prominent, with the Spokane Indian Reservation occupying the southern portion of the sheet and the Colville Indian Reservation appearing across the water to the west. Local industry and resource extraction are evidenced by the H and B Mine and several borrow pits scattered near Alder Creek. Water features such as Newbill Lake, Mudgett Lake, and the drainage of O-Ra-Pak-En Creek suggest a terrain where small-scale agriculture in Enterprise Valley meets the managed wilderness of the Coulee Dam National Recreation Area.
