About this map

Metaline Falls sits along the Pend Oreille River during the late 1960s, serving as a focal point for industry and infrastructure in northern Pend Oreille County. The town is marked by its industrial character, including a powerplant, gaging stations, and a tramway connecting to the nearby quarry. To the north, the Grandview Mine and Grandview Flats indicate the area's mining history, while the Pend Oreille Village and a local trailer park show the residential footprint of the era.

Eastward, the landscape is dominated by the Colville National Forest, where the large expanse of Sullivan Lake is a primary feature. This area is heavily developed for recreation and forestry management, featuring the Sullivan Lake Ranger Station, a landing strip, and multiple sites such as the Sullivan Creek Campground No 1 and Noisy Creek Campground. The presence of the IOOF Cem near the river provides a specific point of interest for those tracing local family histories.
