About this map

The Pend Oreille River flows through the heart of this terrain, where the historic settlements of Blueslide and Ruby sit along its banks. This landscape is defined by its transition from the river valley to the heights of Hanlon Mtn and Ruby Mtn, with much of the eastern and western reaches protected within the Colville National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several named landmarks like Henry Brown Meadow and Squirrel Meadow that suggest early land use, while the presence of Diamond City and Lost Creek provides a look at the scattered communities in this part of Washington. Water features are particularly detailed, including high-altitude bodies like Yocum Lake and the various branches of Le Clerc Creek, such as W Br Le Clerc Cr and E Br Le Clerc Cr.
