1988 Map of Karamin

About this map

Franson Peak and its Lookout Tower command the northeastern horizon of this section of the Colville National Forest in the late 1980s. The landscape is defined by its drainage basins, with Trout Creek and Bacon Creek carving through the southwestern terrain while Empire Creek flows toward the east. Small mountain settlements and clearings like Emanuel, Malo, and Karamin sit along the lower elevations, connected by a network of unimproved roads and 4wd tracks that suggest a history of timber management or fire access. High-altitude meadows, such as Lundimo Meadows, break up the timbered slopes between Granite Mountain and Mt Elizabeth. Notable water features including Empire Lake and Ward Lake provide key landmarks for those tracing the historical hydrology and land use patterns of this Ferry County region.
