2017 Map of Bear Mountain

About this map

The Sanpoil River valley carves through the western edge of this landscape, dominated by the high elevations of the Colville National Forest. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines, including Bear Mountain, Thirteenmile Mtn, and the distinctive Camel Back formation. A network of Forest Service roads, such as Ninemile Rd and Thirteenmile Rd, provides access to these heights, while the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail traverses the southern ridges. Notable geological features like the steep Gibralter slopes and the uniquely named Refrigerator Canyon suggest the dramatic vertical relief of this section of Ferry County. Tributaries like McMann Cr and Ninemile Cr feed into the primary river system, reflecting the drainage patterns of the Kettle River Range.
