About this map

The Great Northern railway forms the backbone of transportation in this corner of Stevens County, winding through the valley past the settlement of Springdale. By the mid-1960s, the area shows a landscape defined by both recreational and industrial use, with a prominent Boat Ramp and Silver Point on the shores of Loon Lake contrasted against the heavy resource extraction visible at Limekiln Hill, which features a Quarry and multiple borrow pits.

South of the town center, the Spokane Indian Reservation Boundary cuts across the terrain near the headwaters of Chamokane Creek. The topography is dominated by local landmarks like Jumpoff Joe Mountain and May Hill, with several springs and Well sites supporting the agricultural character of Ahren Meadows. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, from the Cem near Springdale to the network of jeep trails and the Deer Lake Road connecting these mountain settlements.
