This Geologic Atlas is designed for
geologists, rock hounds, prospectors, ghost town explorers and anyone
else wanting to investigate the history of Pend Oreille County. A
gallery of mineral pictures is spread throughout the book.
 <- This table of
contents is linked to all pages of the book in Acrobat format. Why do we
give these away?
1. We don't expect you to buy the book if you really only want 1
page.
2. You will see why it makes sense to let us print it for you.
3. We can build links from these pages to other pictures and
stories.
The 6 page geologic introduction covers the fascinating
events that created this mineral-rich region. A map overview of
the geologic base
rocks and a key to their
age and composition prefaces
the main index of 400+ mines. This index shows not only the
principal metals but also the mineral makeup of each mine. The
mine pages themselves show the base geology with points and associated
numbers for each mine. There are grids by section and by 1 minute
GPS coordinates. Elevation contours are at 500 foot intervals.
The road lines are current from our Emergency Services books. Two
smaller indexes arrange all mines by page and by Name order. Mine names
change over time so it is also a good idea to check the geographic names
on each page and in the comprehensive place and street name index at the
end of the book. A key to pages showing mine density on the back
cover allows quick access to the proper page.
We also offer see-through plastic cases with velcro
clasps to protect your book in the field. Order by phone at (509)
738-6155.
