2014 Map of Bear Mountain

About this map

Colville National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, defined by high peaks and a complex drainage system flowing toward the Sanpoil River. The geography is anchored by prominent elevations such as Bear Mtn, Thirteenmile Mtn, and Quartz Mtn, the latter of which features the Quartz Mountain Lookout Tower. This high-elevation terrain is navigated by the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which winds across the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The map captures a wilderness area managed for forestry and recreation, where named creeks like Ninemile Cr and Tenmile Cr carve deep valleys between ridges like Camel Back and Brown Mtn. Local infrastructure is represented by a network of forest roads, including Overlook Rd and Thirteenmile Rd, which provide access to remote landmarks such as Eagle Rock and the specialized topography of Refrigerator Canyon.
