2014 Map of Stubblefield Point

About this map

Nilles Corner sits atop the high plateau south of the Columbia River, marking a quiet crossroads in a landscape defined by deep coulees and basalt rimrocks. The river itself dominates the central corridor, cutting through the canyon where Long Rapids, Eagle Rapids, and White Cap Rapids historically challenged navigation. Along the northern banks, the Colville Indian Reservation spans the terrain toward Stubblefield Point, while the southern Douglas County side is etched with family-named landmarks like Pearl Hill and several isolated water bodies including Judson Lake and the Klinkhammer Lakes. The complex topography is further revealed in the steep descent of Rice Canyon and Box Canyon, showing the dramatic elevation changes between the upland wheat country and the river valley. Numerous springs, such as Bryan Springs and Gladys Spring, dot the draws, highlighting the critical water sources for this arid region.
