About this map

The high ridges of the Colville National Forest dominate this terrain near the Canadian border, where the crests of Hooknose Ridge and Russian Ridge define the drainage of the Colville and Pend Oreille watersheds. At an elevation of over 7,300 feet, Baldy Abercrombie Mtn stands as a prominent landmark above a network of drainages including Flume Creek and Pewee Creek.

Resource extraction and backcountry access are evident through the presence of the Gold Hill Mine in the southeast and various unidentified mines near the northern boundary. The landscape is carved by steep transitions between peaks like Hooknose Mtn and Frisco Mtn, with the Standard Road and a Pack Trail providing the primary routes through this remote mountain environment. Surveyed in the late 1960s with updates through the mid-1980s, the map tracks the industrial and recreational footprint in the Selkirk Mountains before modern development changed these high-altitude corridors.
