About this map

Maud and the surrounding high country of Stevens County are documented in this topographic survey, highlighting a landscape where mountain peaks and narrow canyons dictate the placement of roads and homesteads. The terrain is dominated by the Huckleberry Range and the The Summit Range, with elevations rising to notable points like Wellington Peak and Quartz Mtn. Deep incisions such as Twilight Canyon and Hawks Canyon cut through the hills, while the drainage of Stranger Cr and its tributaries, including S Fork Stranger Cr, provide the primary water sources for the valley bottoms.

For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several family-named landmarks and rural settlements, including the Stranger Creek Cem and the evocatively named Goose Heaven. The road network, including the Daisy Mine Rd and Cedonia-Addy Rd, follows the contours of the land, connecting disparate points like Hungry Hollow and Schmid Meadows across the rugged geography of the Colville National Forest region.
