1992 Map of Leadpoint

About this map

Gladstone Mountain and Red Top Mountain anchor this survey of a densely mineralized corner of the Colville National Forest, just south of the international boundary. The settlement at Leadpoint serves as a central point for the surrounding topography, which is marked by an intensive history of extraction. Dozens of mining operations are documented, including the Gladstone Mine, the Electric Point Mine, and the Admiral Mine & Mill near Hartbauer Orchard. This industrial landscape is set against the rugged drainage basins of Deep Creek and Cedar Creek. The map identifies local landmarks such as the Cedar Creek Sch (Aban'd), preserving a record of earlier 20th-century rural infrastructure. High-altitude clearings like Hungate Clearing and various trails like the Terry Trail provide detail for those tracing historic land use and access in Stevens County.
