About this map

Colville Indian Reservation and the Colville National Forest meet across this mountainous landscape in Ferry County. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Tungsten Mountain and Onion Ridge, where the high-altitude environment supports scattered springs and seasonal submerged marshes. Local ranching history is evidenced by several family-named homesteads, including Chief Barnaby Ranch, Banning Ranch, and Nicholas Ranch, situated primarily along the drainage of Barnaby Creek.

Water features are central to the geography here, from the namesake La Fleur Lake and Elbow Lake to the meandering courses of Hall Creek and Cottonwood Creek. The presence of a Landing Strip and a single Prospect indicates the dual roles of aviation and resource exploration in this remote section of Washington. The boundary between the national forest and the reservation divides the quadrangle, illustrating the complex land management of the Colville region in the late 20th century.
