2023 Map of Park Rapids

About this map

Park Rapids sits at the junction of Colville-Tiger Rd and the Little Pend Oreille River in this modern-era study of Stevens County. The landscape is defined by the expansive Colville National Forest and the Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge, which protect significant river systems including Cedar Creek and Prospect Creek. The terrain is characterized by high-elevation points such as Old Dominion Mtn, with a network of forest roads like Hanson Creek Rd and Seigel Hill Rd providing access to water bodies like Little Twin Lakes and Black Lake. The presence of Crystal Falls along the river highlights the significant elevation changes that drive the local hydrology. This 2023 survey documents the intersection of public land management and small-scale settlement near the western edge of the Selkirk Mountains.
