About this map

The Canada United States border defines the northern edge of this landscape, where the Kettle River winds southward past the small community of Ferry. This 1988 provisional survey illustrates the intersection of international geography and remote wilderness, marked by the presence of a U S Customs post and a Gaging Station along the riverbanks. The interior is a complex network of timbered ridges and deep drainages, including Koepke Canyon and Resner Canyon, which split the territory between the Okanogan National Forest and Colville National Forest.

Local history is preserved at the Ronald MacDonald Historical Site and the quiet Eagle Cliff Cem located near the settlement of Toroda. The mapping of family-named landmarks like Bamber Mountain and numerous water sources such as Ken Spring and Graphite Creek suggests a long history of prospecting and ranching. The presence of a Conservation Center and a Substation indicates the modern management of this rural corridor along the Okanogan Co Ferry Co line.
