About this map

Republic serves as a focal point in this 1984 survey, situated near the western edge of the Kettle River Range. The map documents a rugged landscape defined by its mining history and timbered slopes within the Colville National Forest and Okanogan National Forest. Notable mineral claims like the Knob Hill Mine and Morning Glory Mine are charted near the townsite, reflecting the persistent economic importance of gold and silver extraction in this corner of Ferry County.

To the east, the Kettle River winds through the valley towards the Columbia River and the waters of Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake. Small settlements such as Curlew, Malo, and Pollard are shown along the northern rail and road corridors, while the eastern boundary is marked by the developed riverfront at Kettle Falls and Marcus. The presence of the Burlington Northern Railroad highlights the vital transportation link connecting these mountain communities to the broader Pacific Northwest.
