1967 Map of Metaline Falls

About this map

Metaline Falls serves as the industrial and civic anchor of this 1967 survey, where the Pend Oreille River is harnessed by a Powerplant and Gaging Station. The landscape reflects a specialized mountain economy, marked by an Aerial Tramway and several industrial sites like the Grandview Mine and various quarries near Grandview Flats. Further east, the Colville National Forest dominates the terrain, centering on the massive Sullivan Lake and its associated recreation and infrastructure, including the Sullivan Lake Ranger Station and a remote Landing Strip. Local genealogy is anchored by the IOOF Cem near the small settlement of Pocahontas, while the southern reaches show scattered development at Maitlen along Paupac Creek. The map documents a rugged Pend Oreille County landscape where resource extraction, hydroelectric power, and national forest management intersect.
