About this map

Park Rapids sits at the southern reach of this Stevens County landscape, where the Pend Oreille River flows near the edge of the Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge. The mid-1960s terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including South Fork Mill Creek and Narcisse Creek, which carve through the high ground of Old Dominion Mtn. This area was actively managed for resource and protection, evidenced by the Mill Creek Guard Station and a Lookout Tower positioned for forest oversight.

Local industry and recreation are marked by features like the Longshot Mine in the north and several developed sites around Twin Lakes. The presence of numerous jeep trails and a Gravel Pit suggest a working landscape deeply tied to the surrounding mountains. Notable landmarks like Crystal Falls and Black Lake provide clear reference points for those studying the physical history and natural borders of the Little Pend Oreille Game Range.
