1985 Map of Kewa

About this map

Colville Indian Reservation territory defines the landscape of this 1980s-era survey, where the Columbia River forms a significant reach of the eastern boundary. The map documents the rural settlement at Kewa and its nearby Kewa Cem, providing a precise look at the land use and topography before the turn of the millennium. The terrain is marked by high-elevation features like Middle Mountain and Seymour Hill, while drainage patterns are established by Stranger Creek and the long course of Nez Perce Creek. Several locations labeled Prospects suggest mining exploration in the drainages, particularly near Stray Dog Canyon. Along the river, the Coulee Dam National Recreation Area designation highlights the importance of the waterway to the region's geography and federal management.
