About this map

Ione serves as the primary hub along the western bank of the Pend Oreille River in this mid-century portrait of northeastern Washington. The landscape is defined by the heavy timber of the Colville National Forest, where steep drainages like Little Muddy Creek and Meadow Creek flow toward the river valley. The settlement of Tiger sits at a strategic junction near Tiger Slough, marking a point where the valley widens to accommodate Tiger Meadows.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible in the numerous Borrow Pits and the Ione Millpond north of the town center. Local history is anchored by Riverside Cem and a high concentration of mountain lakes, including Browns Lake, Lake Leo, and Frater Lake. The map details a network of forest and access roads, such as Honsinger Road and Stecker Road, which reveal the logistical patterns of a region built on forestry and river access.
