About this map

The Kettle River defines the physical and cultural geography of this borderland region, winding through the valley that separates Stevens and Ferry counties. The small communities of Orient, Dulwich, and Barstow sit along this corridor, reflecting a settlement pattern tied closely to the river and the transportation routes that parallel its course. To the east, the landscape rises toward Toulou Mountain and Hungry Hill, while the western portion is dominated by the steep terrain of the Colville National Forest and the prominent Thompson Ridge.

Remote family sites and local landmarks like the Kelly Hill Cemetery and the Barstow Bridge provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. This 2017 data captures a modern view of the region's protected lands, including the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area and Lrnra buffers. High-elevation water bodies such as Renner Lake and Little Pierre Lake offer a detailed look at the hydrology of the northern Washington highlands.
