1992 Map of Boyer Mtn

About this map

Kaniksu National Forest lands dominate this mountainous reach of the Selkirk range, where the county line between Stevens and Pend Oreille counties divides the high ridges. Surveyed in the early 1990s, the map reveals a landscape defined by timber and watersheds rather than towns. Drainage systems such as the Middle Fork Calispell Creek and South Fork Calispell Creek carve deep valleys between prominent heights like Boyer Mountain and Power Peak. The presence of scattered prospects and isolated summits like Little Blue Grouse Mtn suggests a history of mineral exploration and fire lookout observation in this heavily forested interior. Near the northeastern corner, Power Lake provides a rare level water feature amidst the steep drainages of Beaver Creek and Buck Creek.
