About this map

Metaline Falls serves as the industrial and civic heart of this northeastern Washington landscape, where the Pend Oreille River cuts through the mountains. The town's economic reliance on mining and timber is visible through the Grandview Mine and a distinctive Aerial Tramway near the riverbanks. An Elevated Aqueduct follows the course of Sullivan Creek, signaling the complex infrastructure required to manage water resources in this steep terrain.

To the east, the Colville National Forest dominates the geography, centered around the long reach of Sullivan Lake. Recreation and conservation efforts are evident in the Sullivan Lake Ranger Station, multiple campgrounds, and the proximity of the Salmo-Priest Wilderness. For genealogists and local historians, the IOOF Cem and small named settlements like Pend Oreille Village and Maitlen provide specific points of interest within the broader forest landscape.
