About this map

Pinkney City and Three Forks represent the early territorial history of Stevens County on this mid-century survey. Located north of the current county seat, this landscape is defined by the drainage of Mill Creek and the rise of Old Town Mountain and Churchill Ridge. The map documents a transition in rural community life, noting both active gathering places like White Lake Grange and the Colville Gun Club, alongside the fading footprints of the Graham Sch and White Lake Sch.

Resource extraction and family-named landmarks are prominent, from the Old Dominion Mine and Tulare Dolomite Quarry to features like Jack Hook Jones Gulch and Coonrad Hill. The presence of several small lakes, including White Mud Lake and Peery Lake, provides a clear view of the local hydrology before modern development. The network of rural routes, including Aladdin Road and Tiger Road, connects these scattered settlements and agricultural sites within the Colville National Forest.
