About this map

Colville National Forest and the northern border of the Colville Indian Reservation define this landscape in Ferry County, where the terrain is dominated by high ridges and mountain peaks. The map details a transition from the dense woodlands of Rainy Ridge and Onion Ridge to more isolated family holdings, including Chief Barnaby Ranch and Banning Ranch. These labels hint at a long history of cattle grazing and homesteading in the valleys formed by Barnaby Creek and Onion Creek.

Recreational and natural points of interest are scattered throughout the peaks, from the Elbow Lake Campground to the high elevations of Tungsten Mountain and Staehly Mountain. Significant water bodies like La Fleur Lake and Lake Ellen are captured alongside small-scale infrastructure such as a remote Landing Strip and various 4WD trails, reflecting the area's use by both the forestry service and local residents during the mid-1980s.
