About this map

Malo sits along the banks of Curlew Cr in this northern Washington landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural valley. The topography is defined by the drainage basins of several prominent waterways, including Tonasket Cr, Aeneas Cr, and the various forks of Saint Peter Cr. To the east, the boundary of the Colville National Forest marks a transition into more densely wooded mountain terrain, including the high ground at Big Lick.

Evidence of established land use is visible in the network of county roads and family-named landmarks like Saint Peter Flat and Hillard Ranch Rd. These local identifiers, along with features such as Green Spring and Lambert Cr, illustrate a history of ranching and mountain homesteading. The map details the complex system of forest access roads like Thompson Canyon Rd and Long Alec Creek Rd that navigate the high-elevation ridges between the creeks.
