2023 Map of Bald Knob

About this map

The boundary between the Okanogan National Forest and Colville National Forest bisects this mountainous landscape in Ferry County, where the peak of Bald Knob overlooks a complex network of forest drainage. The West Fork Sanpoil River carves through the northern half of the region, joined by various tributaries including Deerhorn Creek and Nineteenmile Creek. The small settlement at West Fork serves as a focal point for the limited infrastructure in the area, which consists primarily of unpaved forest routes such as Gold Creek Rd and Anderson Creek Rd. This environment highlights the remote timber and watershed management characteristics of north-central Washington. Significant water features like Long Lake and Gold Spring provide critical points of interest for those studying the hydrologic layout of the Sanpoil River basin, while numerous Bureau of Indian Affairs routes indicate the proximity to tribal lands.
