About this map

Sacheen Lake and the Little Spokane River drainage define this section of the Selkirk Mountains foothills during the late 1960s. The landscape is a complex network of glacial lakes and valleys, where Deer Valley and Fertile Valley provide the primary corridors for settlement and transit. Infrastructure supporting the regional timber and water management industries is evident through features like the North Aqueduct, a Powerhouse, and a Gaging Station near the shores of Calispell Lake.

Recreational and communal sites are well-documented, including Camp Spaulding on Davis Lake and a Ski Lift located on the slopes overlooking the southern reaches of Sacheen Lake. The terrain transitions sharply from the low-lying wetlands of the West Branch Little Spokane River to the prominent heights of Grayback Mountain and Little Blue Grouse Mtn, providing a detailed look at the interface between wilderness and managed natural resources in Pend Oreille County.
