About this map

The Colville National Forest dominates this landscape in northeastern Washington, where the high ridges of Granite Mountain and Mt Elizabeth overlook a network of creek drainages and high-elevation meadows. The settlement at Karamin sits along the southern edge of the sheet, situated near where Curlew Creek feeds into the northern reaches of Curlew Lake. This 1990s revision by the Forest Service and U.S. Geological Survey delineates complex land management boundaries, including numerous Indian Allotment parcels that interleave with public forest lands.

Water is a defining element of the local geography, from the isolated waters of Empire Lake and Ward Lake to the various springs like Wild Echo Spring that feed Larch Creek. To the northeast, the Lookout on Franson Peak provides a high-point perspective over Lundimo Meadows. The map also captures small-scale industrial features such as a Gravel Pit near Malo Lake, illustrating the local resource extraction and infrastructure maintenance typical of this mountainous region.
