About this map

Kettle Falls serves as the primary hub of this 2020 landscape, situated at the junction of the Colville River and the expansive Franklin D Roosevelt Lake. The topography is defined by the steep elevation changes of the Huckleberry Range and Mingo Mtn, which overlook the river valleys. Industrial and civic elements are clearly marked, including the Boise Cascade Mill Waste Pond near the northern boundary and the historic Meyers Falls Cem located just east of the main town site.

Smaller outlying communities like Greenwood and Ward represent the dispersed settlement patterns typical of this region of Stevens County. Water management and hydroelectric power legacy are evident through the Meyers Falls Reservoir and the namesake Meyers Falls. Much of the shoreline and surrounding timberland is preserved within the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, reflecting the modern balance between resource extraction and recreation in the Pacific Northwest.
