About this map

The Colville Indian Reservation and Colville National Forest dominate this 1952 field-checked survey of Ferry County. The landscape is defined by the prominent basins of North Twin Lake and South Twin Lake, which are connected to a network of drainages including Stranger Creek and Cornstalk Creek. Settlement patterns are distinctly rural, marked by isolated ranching sites such as the Chief Barnaby Ranch and Nicolas Ranch, alongside the small community of Meteor.

A notable historical layer is preserved in the identification of sites no longer in active use, such as the La Fleur Ranch (Site) and Hall Ranch (Site), as well as the Lynx Creek Lookout (Aband) atop Lynx Mtn. High elevations like Dollar Mountain and Grizzly Mountain overlook a network of primitive infrastructure including the North Fork Road and Cornstalk Road, providing a detailed view of mid-century land use and mountain resource management.
