1992 Map of Metaline Falls

About this map

Metaline Falls serves as the industrial and civic anchor for this mountain landscape along the Pend Oreille River during the early 1990s. The map illustrates a complex local economy where mining, power generation, and recreation intersect. An Aerial Tramway and the nearby Grandview Mine highlight the area's extraction history, while a Powerplant and multiple Gaging Stations track the utility of the river. To the east, the terrain transitions into the protected Colville National Forest and Salmo-Priest Wilderness. Significant water features like Sullivan Lake and Mill Pond dominate the central topography, supported by infrastructure such as a Landing Strip and Boat Ramp. For genealogists and local historians, the IOOF Cem and the settlement of Pend Oreille Village offer specific points of interest for tracing family roots in this corner of Washington.
