About this map

Kanisku National Forest encompasses this wilderness region near the Idaho-Washington border, defined by the high peaks of the Selkirk Mountains. The map detail highlights the hydrological connection between Upper Priest Lake and the Priest River via The Thorofare, a critical waterway for local navigation. High-altitude landmarks like Phoebe Tip and Lookout Mtn overlook a landscape of drainages and small alpine waters, including Mollies Lake and the Caribou Lakes.

Logistics in the area are shaped by the Selkirk Crest Management Area, with access limited to remote routes such as Bugle Creek Rd and NFD 655 RD. The survey documents the rugged drainage patterns of Caribou Creek and Bugle Creek, which flow through steep terrain marked by Caribou Falls and Armstrong Meadows. This 2013 record is particularly useful for identifying specific named ridges and mountain lakes within this protected forest landscape.
