About this map

Boyer Mountain and its summit Lookout Tower command the high ground along the border of Stevens and Pend Oreille counties in the late 1960s. This drainage-rich landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Calispell Creek system, where the Middle Fork and South Fork carve deep valleys between peaks like Power Peak and Granite Mtn.

The presence of scattered Prospects and a Prospect near the mountain summits suggests a history of mineral exploration in these highlands. Transportation is limited to a network of unimproved routes and a Jeep Trail that skirts Brush Mountain and Heel Creek, indicating the area remained primarily used for timber management and fire lookout access during this era. Small water bodies like Power Lake and numerous mountain springs provide the primary landmarks in this high-elevation backcountry.
