1984 Map of Nespelem
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The Colville Indian Reservation dominates this 1980s landscape, illustrating the intricate geography of the Sanpoil and Nespelem River drainages. The map serves as a vital record for the administrative center at Colville Indian Agency and the primary settlement at Nespelem. To the east, the impounded waters of the Columbia River, known as Franklin D Roosevelt Lake, create a stark aquatic boundary within the Coulee Dam National Recreation Area. The region's industrial past is visible through dispersed mining operations such as the Germania Mine and Columbia Tungsten Mine, which sit amid the timbered slopes of the Huckleberry Range and Wilmont Ridge. These features indicate an economy transitioning from traditional resource extraction toward recreation and tribal administration during the late twentieth century.
