About this map

Mining operations and rugged northern terrain define this area along the international border between Washington and Canada. The landscape is dominated by the steep slopes of Mehama Mountain and Bullfrog Mountain, where the mining history of the region is evident through sites like the Bullfrog Mine, Horn Silver Mine, and the Ivanhoe Tunnel. In the southern reaches, the small settlement of Golden sits near the shores of Wannacut Lake, accompanied by the Golden Cem.

Transport and industry follow the water, with the Burlington Northern railroad tracking the sharp curves of the Similkameen River past Shankers Bend. The presence of Enloe Dam and various prospects and borrow pits near the river indicates a landscape heavily utilized for its natural resources. The western edge is anchored by the expanse of Palmer Lake, providing a clear contrast to the high-elevation draws and canyons that carve through the surrounding mountains.
