2023 Map of Calispell Peak

About this map

Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge and the Colville National Forest dominate this landscape on the border of Stevens and Pend Oreille counties. This high-altitude terrain is characterized by a series of named meadows and basins that suggest a history of seasonal grazing and water management. Features like Pal Moore Meadow, Hartill Meadows, and Krumm Meadows represent the family-named landmarks common in Washington's timber and ranching country. The topography rises sharply to Calispell Peak and Saddle Mtn, with the drainage network of North Fork Chewelah Creek and Tacoma Creek carving deep paths through the Kaniksu National Forest. The presence of Phillips Lake and Calispell Basin provides a focused look at the remote high-country water sources that have historically supported both wildlife and local mountain industries.
