About this map

Kaniksu National Forest defines the rugged interior of the Selkirk Mountains along the border of Stevens and Pend Oreille counties. This area is characterized by high summits and deep drainage systems, including the Middle Fork Calispell Creek and the South Fork Calispell Creek. Higher elevations are marked by prominent peaks such as Boyer Mountain, Power Peak, and Granite Mtn.

Resource extraction and early land use are evident through multiple Prospects located near the northern ridges and a Prospect to the west. The landscape's hydrology is tied to features like Power Lake and several high-altitude Spring sources. Updated in the mid-1980s from late-1960s field data, this map captures the forest's transition, showing established fire roads like the Jeep Tr winding through the complex terrain of Brush Mountain and Little Roundtop.
