2023 Map of Boundary Mountain OE N

About this map

The Kettle River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, its winding course defining the geography near the northern border of Ferry County. This 2023 survey illustrates a wilderness interface where the Granby River flows southward to meet the Kettle, creating a significant drainage network for the surrounding mountain slopes. Smaller tributaries like Snowball Creek, Sand Creek, and Morrissey Creek feed into these larger arteries from the east, while Neff Creek and Hardy Creek drain the western terrain. The presence of Wards Lake provides a distinct hydrological feature amidst the creek systems. This map is a modern representation of the rugged northern Washington landscape, showing the persistent natural boundaries shaped by water and elevation in a region characterized by its remote river valleys.
