About this map

The Pend Oreille River flows through the southeastern corner of this map, passing the settlement of Park Rapids as it moves toward Crystal Falls. This high-altitude terrain in Stevens County is heavily defined by conservation boundaries, where the Colville National Forest meets the Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge. The landscape is a network of ridges and drainages, marked by peaks like Old Dominion Mtn, which features a prominent Lookout Tower for fire observation.

Industrial and administrative history is visible through the Longshot Mine in the northern hills and the Mill Creek Guard Station along South Fork Mill Creek. Numerous smaller water bodies, including Twin Lakes and Black Lake, are connected by a system of rugged infrastructure, including Jeep Trails and unnamed footpaths. The map documents the area during a period of transition, with original 1967 data updated in 1986 to show changing road classifications and land use.
