About this map

Tumtum sits at a bend in the Spokane River where the waterway widens into Long Lake. This 2011 survey captures the interface between the river valley and the surrounding uplands of Stevens County, dominated by landmarks like Bald Mountain, McMillan Mountain, and the Five Sisters. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with Chamokane Creek and Mission Creek feeding into the main river system while numerous canyons like Fortymile Canyon and Hendricks Canyon carve through the terrain.

For local history researchers, the map provides precise locations for the Tumtum Cemetery and rural road networks including McAllister Rd and W Riverview. The northern reaches of the quadrangle encompass the broad expanse of Walkers Prairie, illustrating the transition from the river's recreational and hydrological importance to the open flats and valleys like Williams Valley and Big Foot Valley that characterize the regional geography.
