About this map

Upper Priest Lake and its connecting waterway, The Thorofare, anchor the southwestern corner of this landscape within the Kaniksu National Forest. The terrain is defined by high alpine ridges and numerous small glacial basins, including Mollies Lake, Caribou Lakes, and W Fork Lake. Long-distance transit is represented by the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail, which winds through the drainage of Caribou Creek and past the western face of Lookout Mtn.

The map reveals a network of forest access routes like Bugle Creek Rd and Lucky Creek Rd, which serve as the primary conduits through the timberlands. Notable landmarks for navigation include the distinctive peak of Phoebe Tip and the marshy expanse of Armstrong Meadows. The prevalence of named water features like Caribou Falls and Lion Cr highlights the hydrologic importance of this drainage system within the northern Panhandle.
