About this map

The Huckleberry Range dominates this portion of Stevens County, creating a high-elevation landscape defined by steep ridges and deep drainage basins. Resource extraction is evident throughout the terrain, anchored by the presence of the Daisy Mine and Aquila Mine in the northern reaches, while numerous gravel pits and unnamed mines dot the southern slopes. These industrial markers coincide with a network of rugged 4WD tracks that thread through the canyons, connecting remote points like the settlement of Arzina and the Landing Strip located near the headwaters of Cheweka Creek.

Water flows outward from the central spine of Kentry Ridge, feeding a complex system of creeks including Stranger Creek, Quillisascut Creek, and Sawyer Creek. The topography is punctuated by prominent peaks such as Monumental Mtn and Mc Millan Hill, while human infrastructure is limited to specialized installations like the Radio Tower and Radio Facility on high ground, reflecting the area's utility as a communication and mining hub during the late twentieth century.
