2023 Map of Waitts Lake

About this map

Waitts Lake dominates the central landscape of this Stevens County quadrangle, surrounded by a complex system of valleys and ridgelines. To the east, the Colville River winds through the broad Colville Valley, while the smaller Waitts Creek and Huckleberry Creek drain the surrounding uplands. The terrain is marked by significant elevations such as Wrights Mtn in the northeast and Lane Mtn to the west. Local family history and settlement patterns are evident in the naming of landmarks like Little Sweden, Boudes Hill, and Haverland Meadows. Transportation in the area relies on a network of rural routes including Farm To Market Loop Rd and Waits Lake Rd, reflecting the area's agricultural and recreational character. Small water bodies like Swede Lake, Hansen Lake, and Meadow Pond are scattered throughout the lower elevations, providing a detailed look at the local hydrology.
