About this map

Tumtum sits along the northern shores of Long Lake in this modern survey, where the border of Stevens and Spokane counties meets the water. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the lake's edge at Sunset Bay and Willow Bay to the rising elevations of McMillan Mountain and Mt Godfrey. To the north, Walkers Prairie provides a more level terrain near the headwaters of Chumokane Creek.

Local history is well-preserved through the documentation of the Scotts Valley Cemetery and the Old Scotts Valley Cemetery, both located near the community of Tumtum. The map traces a complex network of canyons and valleys, including Scotts Valley, Williams Valley, and the curiously named Big Foot Valley, which runs along the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Transport routes like Rail Canyon Road and Saddle Mountain Way follow these natural contours, connecting the lakeside settlements to the higher ridges of Scoop Mountain and the Five Sisters.
