About this map

Huckleberry Mountain dominates this mid-century survey of the rugged interior of Stevens County. The landscape is defined by a significant mining legacy, with numerous operations following the ridge lines and creek beds. The Red Marble Quarry stands out as a major industrial feature, alongside the Wells Fargo Mine, Admiral Mine, and Keystone Mine. These sites, connected by a network of jeep trails and a tramway, illustrate the extraction-based economy that shaped this part of Washington.

Drainage systems like Huckleberry Creek and the North Fork carve through the terrain, leading toward small clearings such as Klein Meadows and Miller Meadow. A Radio Tower and Lookout atop Stensgar Mountain indicate the area's strategic importance for regional communication and fire watch during this era. The small settlement at Carrs Corner and scattered ruins offer glimpses into the localized habitation patterns of the 1960s.
