1989 Map of Keller

About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation landscape is defined by the deep valley of the Sanpoil River as it flows south toward the Columbia River. In the late 1980s, the settlement of Keller serves as a local hub near the river's confluence with the backed-up waters of Franklin D Roosevelt Lake. The terrain is marked by extractive history and land management, with numerous prospects, a mine, and gravel pits scattered throughout the draws of Jack Creek and Meadow Creek. To the south, the Coulee Dam National Recreation Area buffers the lake shoreline, supporting local access with a campground and boat ramp. Rising above the river valley, Mount Tolman stands as a prominent geographic landmark, while smaller settlements like Empire and a trailer park dot the northern reaches of the river corridor.
