About this map

The town of Valley serves as a focal point along the western edge of this Stevens County landscape, situated where the Burlington Northern railroad runs parallel to the Colville River. This corridor reflects a history of transport and industry, evidenced by various operations including a Quarry, a Gravel Pit, and Storage Bins near the tracks. The terrain transitions from the river valley to the prominent heights of Wrights Mtn and Parker Mtn, with the eastern portions of the map reaching into the Colville National Forest.

Hydrological features are particularly dense south and east of the main settlement, featuring recreational and natural landmarks like Jumpoff Joe Lake, Blue Lake, and the secluded Hirsch Pond. Genealogists may find value in the local Cem located near the river, while the presence of a Gaging Sta and multiple named creek systems like Huckleberry Creek and Waitts Creek illustrate the managed water resources of this Pacific Northwest environment.
