About this map

The Kettle River defines the geographic and political boundary of this landscape, winding south through the canyon to divide Ferry and Stevens counties. Along its banks, the small settlements of Orient, Dulwich, and Barstow follow the river valley and the path of Us-395. This corridor represents a vital mountain passage, where the flat valley floor meets the steep rise of the surrounding Colville National Forest.

Inland from the river, the terrain climbs toward peaks like Toulou Mtn and Little Marble Mtn. High-elevation water bodies, including Renner Lake and Little Pierre Lake, are tucked into the drainages of Toulou Cr and Hodgson Cr. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the location of the Kelly Hill Cem and the specific infrastructure of the valley, such as the Barstow Bridge and the grid of Orient centered on Main St and Highland Ave.
