About this map

The Pend Oreille River flows northward through this mid-1960s survey, serving as the central artery for the timber and transport economy of northeastern Washington. At the heart of the map, the town of Ione is depicted with its complex of industrial features, including the Ione Millpond, a critical Ione Bridge crossing, and a nearby Landing Strip. Further south, the settlement of Tiger sits near the junction of the Pend Oreille Valley rail line and the marshy expanses of Tiger Slough.

The surrounding Colville National Forest landscape is dotted with high-elevation water bodies like Browns Lake, Nile Lake, and Lake Leo. These sites, along with several Prospect and Borrow Pit locations, reflect a region defined by its natural resource extraction and recreational geography. Genealogists may find value in the location of Riverside Cemetery along the riverbank, while the presence of the Trailer Park north of Ione provides a specific look at local housing patterns during the late 20th-century update.
