The Kettle River defines the rugged border between Ferry and Stevens counties in this early 1950s study of the northern Washington wilderness. The Great Northern railroad tracks parallel the river's winding path, connecting small mountain settlements like Orient, Barstow, and Dulwich. Mining and forestry are the primary footprints of industry here, evidenced by the Talisman Mine and the Kettle River Mines, as well as the presence of the Orient Ranger Station. Higher elevations such as First Thought Mtn and Summit Mtn tower over numerous mountain drainages like Deep Creek and Toulou Creek. Local civic life is captured in small details, from the Barstow Sch near the southern boundary to the Cem located near the international border at Laurier.
