2011 Map of Kettle Falls

About this map

Franklin D Roosevelt Lake dominates the western edge of this Stevens County landscape, where the Colville River flows toward its confluence near the modern town of Kettle Falls. The area's industrial and mining heritage is written across the terrain, with numerous historical extraction sites including the Grey Eagle Mine and Blue Grouse Mine located in the hills. Water management and local industry are further evidenced by features like the Meyers Falls Dam and the Boise Cascade Mill Waste Pond. Smaller settlements and markers of local history, such as Ward, Greenwood, and the Meyers Falls Cemetery, provide a framework for genealogists tracing family ties to this river valley. From the heights of Mission Ridge to the isolated Cousins Cabin, the map reflects a region defined by its timber and mineral resources.
