About this map

Boundary Dam stands as the central industrial anchor on the Pend-Oreille River just south of the international border. This survey of the Colville National Forest illustrates the intersection of energy production, resource extraction, and recreation in the early 21st century. The landscape is marked by the presence of the Grandview Pit and the Pend Oreille Mine Tailings Pond, reflecting the area's deep ties to the mining industry.

Outside of the river corridor, the terrain rises into prominent peaks like Contact Mtn and Dolomite Mtn. The Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds through these heights, passing notable landmarks such as the Vista House and the Harvey Grave. Small mountain lakes including Leadbetter Lake and the Upper Lead King Lake dot the high basins, while Z Canyon and Pewee Falls define the river's path through the forest.
