About this map

The Kettle River defines the southern portion of this landscape, winding through a valley marked by several gravel operations. This territory within the Colville National Forest is characterized by high peaks such as Vulcan Mountain, White Mountain, and Snow Peak. The international boundary between the United States and Canada runs along the northern edge of the sheet, where the landscape of Ferry County, Washington, meets British Columbia. Numerous mountain streams, including Catherine Creek, Mary Tenas Creek, and Goosmus Creek, drain the high country toward the river below.

Industrial activity is noted by the presence of a Quarry and multiple Gravel Pits, suggesting localized resource extraction. A notable aviation feature, the Landing Strip, is located near the bend of the river at the southern end of the map. This 1988 provisional edition provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns and terrain of the Curlew area before modern developments significantly altered the rural character of the forest service lands.
