About this map

Wellpinit serves as a central hub on this Stevens County plateau, where a complex network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like BIA Hwy 3 and BIA Hwy 24 navigate the drainage basins of the Little Chamokane Creek. The settlement pattern is defined by these road corridors and their proximity to local water sources, including the historic Chief Lot Cemetery located just outside the main town site.

The landscape is marked by prominent high points such as Bottle Ridge and Round Mountain, which overlook the winding paths of Cottonwood Creek and Sheep Creek. These waterways eventually feed toward the Little Chamokane Falls, illustrating the transition from upland ridges to the lower creek valleys. The detailed mapping of various cutoff roads and local tracks like Wilkinson Cutoff Rd reveals the specific transit routes used for land management and residential access across this diverse terrain.
