2023 Map of Wellpinit

About this map

Wellpinit serves as the central hub of this Stevens County landscape, where the intersection of BIA Hwy 18 and BIA Hwy 19 anchors a community defined by its connection to the terrain. For those researching local lineages, the Sacred Heart Catholic Cem and Chief Lot Cem are significant cultural landmarks situated near the heart of the settlement. The area's topography is marked by the prominence of Bottle Ridge and Round Mtn, while the drainage of Little Chamokane Creek and its tributary Wellpinit Creek dictates the movement of travel and habitation. At the southeastern edge, the Little Chamokane Falls represents a notable hydrological feature where the creek descends toward the border of the quadrangle. A network of Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, such as BIA Hwy 3 and BIA Hwy 24, weave through the timbered draws and ridgelines, illustrating the modern infrastructure overlaid on this traditional landscape.
