About this map

Onion Creek serves as the central focal point of this Stevens County survey, where the waterway and the Onion Creek Rd corridor define the local geography. To the northwest, the map captures a significant portion of the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area along the shores of Franklin D Roosevelt Lake, including the prominent Island Rock. The settlement patterns here are linked to resource extraction and transportation, evidenced by locations like Limerock, Dolomite, and Kanes Siding along the northern rail and road routes.

The terrain is dominated by a series of named peaks that ring the valley, including Bodie Mtn, Stoddard Mtn, and Black Hawk Mtn. A network of backcountry roads, such as Van Stone Mine Rd and Quinns Meadow Rd, spiderwebs through the high ground, reflecting the area's history of mining and forestry. The confluence of the W Fork Onion Cr and the main branch of Onion Cr illustrates the drainage patterns that have shaped these mountain canyons over time.
