2011 Map of Metaline Falls

About this map

Metaline Falls and the Pend Oreille River define this corner of northeast Washington, where the water flows north toward the border. This 2011 survey documents the complex water management infrastructure around Sullivan Lake, including the Sullivan Lake Dam and the nearby Mill Pond Dam on Sullivan Creek. The geography here is a mix of river-level settlements and high-altitude monitoring stations, such as the Hall Mountain Lookout and Upper Sand Creek Lookout. Transport and utility are centered near the Metaline Falls Post Office and the Sullivan Lake State Airport, while the Pend Oreille River Bridge provides a vital crossing near Washington Rock. The map illustrates how recreational sites like the Noisy Creek Campground and Sullivan Creek Campground Number 1 are situated within a landscape carved by numerous drainages, including Harvey Creek and Pocahontas Creek.
