1992 Map of Republic

About this map

The town of Republic serves as a focal point in this 1990s-era survey, situated near the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. This region reflects a complex landscape defined by the mining legacy of Ferry County and the recreation-oriented waters of Curlew Lake. Evidence of local industry is visible through numerous mineshafts and prospect mines dotting the terrain east of Sanpoil Lake, particularly around the slopes of Gold Hill. The transportation history of the area is etched into the topography via the Old RR Gr, tracing a route through the hills toward Pollard. Within the Colville National Forest, the terrain rises toward significant heights like Klondike Mountain and Bald Peak, while Curlew Lake State Park highlights the transition from resource extraction to conservation. These features collectively illustrate a community deeply tied to both its mineral riches and its surrounding natural highlands.
