1992 Map of Northport

About this map

Northport serves as the focal point for this borderland geography, situated where the Columbia River transitions into the expansive Franklin D Roosevelt Lake. The town's infrastructure is detailed with labels for the Northport School and the Old Northport Cemetery, while further north, the international boundary with Canada is marked by the Frontier station. The landscape is defined by the heavy footprint of historical industry and resource extraction, with numerous workings such as the Double Standard Mine, Great Republic Mine, and Hubbard Mine scattered across the rugged terrain of the Colville National Forest. Transportation routes like the Burlington rail line and the Lowry Landing Strip trace the river valley, connecting the small settlement of Velvet to the wider region. This survey captures a moment when traditional mining activities and the managed lands of Hubbard Ridge and Flagstaff Mountain intersected with the regulated flow of the Columbia.
