2020 Map of Onion Creek

About this map

The Onion Creek settlement is situated in a high-elevation interior landscape of Stevens County, dominated by the peaks of the Colville National Forest. The northern reach of the map is defined by the Columbia River, here forming part of Franklin D Roosevelt Lake within the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges and named summits like Black Hawk Mtn and Alice Mae Mtn, while the drainage of Onion Cr and the W Fork Onion Cr provides the primary orientation for local infrastructure. Evidence of the region's industrial and residential history is seen in the network of forest and access roads, including Van Stone Mine Rd and Widow Hawks Branch Rd, which trace the difficult topography of White Horse Canyon and the surrounding highlands.
