About this map

Calispell Peak and the high ridges of the Selkirk Mountains dominate this terrain along the border of Stevens and Pend Oreille counties. This area is characterized by vast protected lands, where the Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge meets the Kaniksu National Forest. The map documents a high-altitude landscape of meadows and basins, including Lenhart Meadows, Hidden Meadows, and the expansive Calispell Basin.

Water systems like the Little Pend Oreille River and Chewelah Creek drain the slopes of Scrabbler Mountain and Olson Peak. For the local historian or researcher, the map preserves the names of numerous family-named landmarks such as Hartill Meadows, Pal Moore Meadows, and Krumm Meadows, which point to the legacy of grazing or early settlement in these alpine openings. The road network is sparse, centered on routes like Calispell Pk Rd that provide access to the Newport Ranger District.
