1952 Map of Leadpoint

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The rugged boundary lands of Stevens County are defined by a dense concentration of hard-rock mining sites along the Canadian border. The small settlement of Leadpoint sits at the heart of this mineral-rich corridor, surrounded by high-elevation peaks like Red Top Mountain and Gladstone Mountain. The 1940s and 50s landscape reveals an economy built on timber and extraction within the Colville National Forest, evidenced by the sheer number of named shafts and pits. Of particular note is the cluster of operations such as the Electric Point Mine, the Gladstone Mine, and the Admiral Mine & Mill. The social history of the area is represented by the Cedar Creek Sch (Aband), signaling a shift in the local population. Significant water features including Cedar Lake and the East Fork Cedar Creek drain the steep terrain, while agricultural efforts like the Hartbauer Orchard appear as rare clearings in the otherwise dense woodland.
