About this map

Colville National Forest dominates this northern Washington landscape, where the peaks of Belshazzar Mtn and Lead Pencil Mtn rise above a network of creek drainages. The Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds through the high country, passing near Elbow Lake and crossing several tributaries. Historical land use is visible at Rose Ranch, situated near the confluence of local streams.

The map reveals a varied terrain defined by deep recesses like Pepoon Canyon and Sleepy Hollow. Water resources are abundant throughout the quadrangle, from the higher elevation Zodiac Spring and Lead Pencil Spring to the larger Ansaldo Lake and Pepoon Lake. Forest service roads, including the Bennett Meadow Rd, provide access to points such as Bennett Meadow and the surrounding ridgelines like Hubbard Ridge.
