2017 Map of Malo

About this map

Malo and the surrounding highlands of Ferry County are defined by a complex network of drainage basins and mountain roads within the Colville National Forest. The settlement of Malo sits near Saint Peter Flat, where the waters of Curlew Creek and Saint Peter Creek converge. The landscape is deeply carved by water, with the North Fork Saint Peter Creek and South Fork Saint Peter Creek creating distinct valleys that have historically dictated travel and timber access in this corner of the Pacific Northwest. Further north, the small community of Curlew marks the upper reaches of the map near the Tonasket Creek drainage. Notable local landmarks such as Big Lick and Green Spring highlight the natural points of interest that anchor the rural road system, including Aeneas Creek Road and Tonasket Mountain Road.
