About this map

Pinkney City and Three Forks appear as former settlement sites in this mid-century survey of the Stevens County landscape. The map captures an era of rural transition, documenting agricultural and industrial foundations such as the White Lake Grange and the Tulare Dolomite Quarry. Evidence of earlier communities remains through the marking of the Old Dominion Mine and several discontinued local institutions, including the White Lake Sch and Graham Sch.

Topography is defined by the high ground of Old Town Mountain and the water networks of Prouty Creek and Mill Creek. The influence of the Colville National Forest is prominent across the eastern terrain, where numerous prospects and canyons like Blue Bird Canyon suggest a history of exploration and resource extraction. Land use patterns are further established by local landmarks like the Colville Gun Club and the Fort Colville Grange situated near Garrison Flat.
