About this map

Onion Creek flows through this northeastern Washington landscape, providing a central drainage for a rugged collection of peaks in Stevens County. Near the northwestern corner, the Franklin D Roosevelt Lake backwater of the Columbia River forms the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, where Island Rock stands as a prominent landmark. The area is defined by a series of named summits, including Black Hawk Mtn, Bodie Mtn, and Alice Mae Mtn, which offer a clear view of the complex topography that local road networks must navigate.

Local infrastructure is represented by routes such as Van Stone Mine Rd and Clugston Creek Branch Rd, reflecting the region's connection to industrial and forestry access. The settlement of Onion Creek serves as a localized hub in a territory otherwise dominated by high-elevation terrain like Staghorn Mtn and Stoddard Mtn. This map documents the transition from the river valley to the mountain slopes, illustrating how the drainage of the W Fork Onion Cr shapes the residential and recreational layout of the quadrangle.
