2017 Map of Belshazzar Mountain OE N

About this map

The United States of America/Canada international border anchors the southern edge of this map, reflecting the jurisdictional complexities of the remote boundary lands between Washington and British Columbia. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, most notably the winding course of Esling Cr as it flows through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. In this high-elevation region, the hydrography is the primary indicator of the terrain's orientation, with numerous unnamed tributaries carving through the slopes. This 2017 U.S. Geological Survey topographic study captures the area's undeveloped character, where the intersection of national borders and natural watercourses remains the defining feature of the geography.
