2017 Map of Kewa

About this map

Kewa sits along the eastern slopes of the Colville Reservation, where the terrain descends toward the extensive shoreline of Franklin D Roosevelt Lake. This modern topography illustrates the relationship between the elevated interior landmarks, such as Seymour Hill and Mid Mtn, and the water systems that drain toward the Columbia River basin. Local nomenclature like Longhairs Pasture and Stray Dog Canyon offers a glimpse into the regional vernacular, while the presence of the Kewa Cem near the intersection of Kewa Cemetery Rd and CO Hwy 53 provides a focal point for genealogical interest. The map also delineates the eastern boundary with Ferry and Stevens Counties, marked by the wide waters of the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. Numerous drainages including Nez Perce Cr, Falls Cr, and Coyote Cr define the intricate network of canyons and ridges that dominate the township lines.
