About this map

Leadpoint sits at the heart of this terrain in Stevens County, where the topography is defined by the high peaks and deep drainages of the Colville National Forest. The map documents a landscape where resource extraction and recreation meet, shown through the network of access routes like Calhoun Mine Rd and Electric Point Rd leading toward Electric Point Gladstone Mtn. A significant stretch of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds through the central and southern sections, crossing near Leadpoint and following the contours of the high ridges.

Water plays a central role in the area's geography, with the N Fork Deep Cr and Silver Cr systems carving through the mountains. Local history is etched into the names of the land, from Hungate Clearing in the north to the family-named features like Hurtbauer Cr and Joe Cr. This 2017 survey provides a high-resolution view of the contemporary forest infrastructure and the enduring peaks of the Selkirk range, including Red Top Mtn and Lime Creek Mtn.
