1969 Map of Belshazzar Mtn

About this map

The Colville National Forest dominates this northern Washington landscape, captured during a 1969 field check just south of the Canadian border. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems and isolated peaks, where the American Fork and Sheep Creek navigate the high country around Belshazzar Mtn and Lead Pencil Mtn. Human activity is primarily defined by the region's mining history and scattered ranching, with the Chief Joseph Mine and Abe Lincoln Mine located in the northern reaches, while the Bullion Mine sits further south near Rattlesnake Creek.
