1952 Map of Keller

About this map

Keller sits at the heart of this mid-century survey, positioned along the Sanpoil River within the expansive Colville Indian Reservation. The landscape is defined by the significant rise of Mount Tolman and the high ridges of Watson Ridge and Whitestone Ridge, punctuated by a network of mining activity. To the south, the recently formed Franklin D Roosevelt Lake backfills the river valley, a major feature of the Coulee Dam National Recreational Area. Geologists and local historians will find several extractive sites documented, including the Shamrock Mine, Keno Mine, and Pacific Mutual Mine, alongside the gravel pits that supported early infrastructure. The map also records essential community landmarks like the Cem near the river and the Gaging Sta monitoring the flow through this mountainous Ferry County terrain.
