1973 Map of Tumtum

About this map

Tumtum sits along the northern banks of the Spokane River Long Lake at the boundary between Stevens and Spokane counties. This 1970s landscape is defined by the transition from the flat agricultural expanse of Walkers Prairie into the complex drainages of Fortymile Canyon and Rail Canyon. To the north, the Spokane Indian Reservation line follows the course of Chamokane Creek, while the southern shore of the lake features recreation and residential markers like Sunset Bay and a Trailer Park. Significant elevation changes are marked by prominent peaks such as Negro Mountain and Scoop Mountain. Local history researchers will find clear markers for the Tumtum Cem and family-named routes like Mc Allister Rd and Casberg Rd serving the valley homesteads.
