About this map

Kaniksu National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Pend Oreille County, characterized by a complex system of glacial lakes and mountain ridges. The drainage patterns of the Pelke Divide and peaks like Cee Cee Ah Peak and Kings Mtn feed numerous water bodies, including the secluded Browns Lake, which is accessible via the Browns Lake Trl. This area is a critical watershed where the North Fork Skookum Creek and South Skookum Lake provide a stark contrast to the surrounding steep terrain.

Local landmarks such as Moon Hill and Ojibway Knoll offer specific reference points for those studying the regional topography. The map illustrates a network of seasonal watercourses like Cee Cee Ah Creek and Solo Creek that carve through the township and range divisions. The distribution of these lakes—from the higher Half Moon Lake to the lower Kings Lake—indicates a landscape largely shaped by its hydrological connections within the national forest boundaries.
