About this map

The confluence of the Columbia River and the Pend-d'Oreille River dominates this northern Stevens County landscape, recorded in the early 21st century. This area is characterized by a dense network of mountain drainages, where multiple named tributaries flow from the high ground toward these major river systems. On the western side, Sheppard Creek, Sayward Creek, and Casino Creek feed directly into the Columbia, while the southern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of the Pend-d'Oreille River as it receives Bearskin Creek and Lime Creek. The map provides a look at the hydrography of the region, including smaller upper-elevation streams like Fruitvale Creek, Wyngill Creek, and Kelly Creek in the north. This survey documents the natural waterways of the Pacific Northwest hinterland, marking the vital paths where mountain snowmelt descends toward the primary regional basins.
