About this map

Wellington Peak towers over a landscape defined by the intersection of the Huckleberry Range and The Summit Range during the mid-1980s. This survey records a persistent history of resource extraction, particularly evident in the Tempest Mine, Silver Summit Mine, and the southern Columbia Tungsten Mine. These industrial sites are interspersed with small settlements like Maud and Magee, alongside the Waterloo School, illustrating a sparse but established rural community.

The rugged eastern slopes descend into the Summit Valley, where drainage systems like Stranger Creek and Schmid Creek dictate the local geography. Notable natural landmarks, such as The Natural Bridge and Gold Hill, sit alongside more modern infrastructure like the Storage Bin and various Barrow Pit locations. The terrain's complexity is further evidenced by named features like Hungry Hollow and Taylor Flat, which provide clear orientation for tracing local land use and geographic history in Stevens County.
