About this map

Marcus sits along the eastern shore of the Columbia River within the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, where the landscape is defined by the massive impoundment of the Franklin D Roosevelt Lake. This modern survey illustrates the contemporary settlement patterns of Stevens County, showing the small communities of Evans and Powell situated near the riverbanks. The map documents significant local landmarks such as Grandview Cem and Bossburg Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogical research.

The topography transitions from the alluvial Marcus Flats to prominent high points like Gold Hill and Kelly Hill. Names like Gold Edge Mine Rd hint at the region's mineral history, while the confluence with the Kettle River near Kamloops Island highlights the complex hydrography of the northern river reaches. This map is a record of the modern recreational landscape, where old landforms like the Seven Devils meet the managed waters of the Columbia.
