2020 Map of Abercrombie Mountain

About this map

Abercrombie Mtn and Hooknose Mtn dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Colville National Forest during the early 21st century. The map centers on the steep terrain of the Selkirk Mountains, where the boundary between Stevens and Pend Oreille counties follows the jagged ridges. The Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds through the heart of the quadrangle, crossing high passes and skirting the slopes of Basalt Hill and Beaver Mtn. At lower elevations, the drainage network is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks, including Jubilee Cr, Flume Cr, and the S Fork Silver Cr. Evidence of industrial access remains visible in the southeast, where Yellow Head Mine Rd approaches the high country. The presence of Hooknose Lake and the Flume Creek Reservoir illustrates the storage of mountain runoff, supporting a region historically shaped by forestry and mineral exploration.
