About this map

Abercrombie Mtn stands as the central high point of this high-altitude landscape within the Colville National Forest, straddling the boundary between Stevens and Pend Oreille counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines, including Frisco Mtn, Hooknose Mtn, and the distinctive Russian Ridge. Near the summit of Hooknose, the small alpine basin of Hooknose Lake feeds into a network of drainages such as Fence Cr and Pewee Cr.

Modern recreation and historic industrial access intersect here, most notably where the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds through the southern ridges. While much of the area is protected forest, the presence of the Yellow Lead Mine Rd in the southeast corner provides a tangible link to the region's mining heritage. Geological features like Limestone Hill and Basalt Hill further distinguish the varied mineral composition of this portion of the Selkirk Mountains along the United States border.
