1967 Map of Timber Mtn.

About this map

Timber Mtn dominates the central landscape of this northeast Washington region, which serves as a critical divide between the drainage of Ruby Creek and the southern headwaters. The 1960s terrain is defined by its industrial and conservation history, specifically within the Little Pend Oreille Nat Wildlife Refuge. Resource extraction is evident in the northern slopes, where the High Noon Mine and Triple H Mine are situated near the North Fork Lost Creek. A network of unpaved paths, including the Tacoma Divide Road and various Jeep Trails, provides access through the elevations of Granite Peak and across high meadows like Granite Meadows and Rufus Meadows. This survey illustrates the specialized land use of the era, balancing high-altitude mining operations with federal wildlife preservation along the Stevens and Pend Oreille county line.
