2023 Map of Turtle Lake

About this map

Spokane Mtn and Bear Mtn dominate this Stevens County landscape, where a network of BIA highways and mining roads reveals the area's industrial and tribal infrastructure. The presence of Germania Mine Rd and Tungsten Mine Rd points to a history of mineral extraction in the high country surrounding Grouse Ridge. Water sources define the lowlands, with Turtle Lake at the center of a drainage system that includes Little Chamokane Creek and Oyachen Creek. The map reflects modern land management through a grid of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like BIA Hwy 46 and BIA Hwy 42, which connect the isolated peaks and ridges of the t29n r37e and t28n r38e townships. This 2023 survey provides a contemporary record of the roads and natural features within the Spokane Reservation vicinity.
