About this map

Boundary Dam dominates the northern reaches of the Pend Oreille River on this borderland survey, where the river carves through the dramatic Z Canyon. This 2017 study illustrates the intersection of industrial activity and protected wilderness within the Colville National Forest. The landscape is marked by modern infrastructure and resource extraction, notably the Pend Oreille Mine Tailings Pond and the Grandview Pit near Lime Lake in the south.

Remote burial sites like Harvey Grave and natural landmarks such as Whiskey Gulch and Deadmans Eddy provide specific points of interest for local historians. For hikers and conservationists, the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds across the terrain, passing through the Lead King Hills and beneath summits like Dolomite Mtn and Crowell Mtn along the international boundary between the United States and Canada.
