About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation dominates this 1980s landscape, where the Sanpoil River carves a central valley through a complex network of ridges. This area of Ferry County reflects a land defined by its drainages, including McAllister Creek, Capoose Creek, and Louie Creek. The river valley serves as the primary corridor for movement, marked by a bridge crossing and the Roadside Park located along the river's eastern bank.

Resource extraction and exploration are evident in the northern reaches, where a Prospect, a Mine, and a Gravel Pit appear in the high country. These markers of industry, combined with the presence of named tributaries like Lime Creek and Empire Creek, suggest a landscape utilized for its raw materials. The map provides a clear record of the topographic boundaries and land designations within the reservation during the late twentieth century.
