1965 Map of Waitts Lake

About this map

The resource-rich landscape of Stevens County, Washington, is captured here in the mid-1960s, defined by a distinct network of industrial extraction and mountain terrain. Industrial operations like the Finch Quarry and Colville Valley Mine anchor the local economy of the era, while numerous smaller sites such as the B & B Mine and Woodbury Quarry are scattered throughout the hills. This industrial presence is woven into a geography marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Wrights Mountain and Lane Mtn down to the agricultural flats of the Colville Valley.
