2017 Map of Valley

About this map

The Colville River meanders through the broad Colville Valley, anchoring a landscape where agricultural flats meet the timbered slopes of the Colville National Forest. The small settlement of Valley serves as a central point for the surrounding rural network, which is defined by a series of distinct water bodies including Waitts Lake, Jumpoff Joe Lake, and Jumpoff Jim Lake. This 2017 survey reflects the persistent geography of Stevens County, where land use is dictated by the steep relief of Parker Mtn and Wrights Mtn. Local nomenclature remains deeply tied to the terrain, with features like Fool Prairie and The Island indicating the historical character of the basin floor. The extensive system of county roads, such as Farm to Market Loop Rd and N Valley Station Rd, illustrates the continued importance of transport between the valley floor and the high country of Jumpoff Joe Mtn.
