1948 Map of Orient
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Kettle River carves a deep valley through the northern reaches of Ferry and Stevens counties, serving as the primary corridor for both the Great Northern railroad and the small settlements that define this mountain borderland. Near the international boundary at the northern edge, Laurier stands as a gateway, while further south, the Orient Ranger Station and the town of Orient anchor the local community. The landscape is dominated by high peaks including McKinley Mtn and First Thought Mtn. This postwar survey captures the transition of the local economy, noting the Kettle River Mine (Aband'd) as a relic of earlier industrial efforts, while landmarks like the Barstow Sch and local Cemeteries provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracing family ties in these river-valley hamlets.
