About this map

Waitts Lake dominates this portion of Stevens County, serving as a central geographic feature for the small settlement of Waits. The landscape is defined by a series of north-south running depressions, including Wrights Valley and the broader Colville Valley to the southeast, where the Colville River meanders through the lowlands. Higher elevations are marked by prominent peaks such as Wrights Mtn and Lane Mtn.

Smaller water bodies and specialized land labels suggest a history of localized settlement and agriculture, seen in names like Little Sweden and Haverland Meadows. The map provides a detailed view of the local road network, including family-named routes like Nellie Smith Way and Bradbury Way, which connect these isolated valleys. Notable landmarks like The Island in the south and Meadow Pond further north reveal the intricate water drainage patterns of the region.
