About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation encompasses much of this landscape, where the high point of Moon Mountain overlooks a network of valleys and glacial waters. The settlement of Meteor sits in the southern portion of the quadrangle near the banks of Stranger Creek, while the community of Cornstalk is positioned further north near the shores of Round Lake. The geography is defined by prominent elevations like Oregon City Ridge and Stranger Mtn, which frame the agricultural and recreational areas of Seyler Valley.

Water plays a central role in the local layout, particularly around the large expanse of the Twin Lakes, where Carson Beach and the Hidden Beach Campground mark established spots for residents and visitors. Local social infrastructure is evident through the presence of the Lakeside Grange and a small Cem, reflecting the rural character of this part of Ferry County during the late twentieth century before any major modern developments altered the shoreline of North Twin Lake and South Twin Lake.
