2011 Map of Continental Mountain

About this map

Continental Mountain and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Selkirk Mountains define this borderlands region between British Columbia and Idaho. The landscape is marked by the industrial history of the Continental Mine and McLean Mine, positioned among significant peaks such as Kaniksu Mountain and Snowy Top. Hydrological features dominate the drainage patterns, with the Upper Priest River winding through the valley, fed by tributaries like Rock Creek and Cedar Creek. Notably, the Upper Priest Falls and Waterfall labels indicate the dramatic elevation changes characteristic of this area. Accessibility into this remote mountainous territory is highlighted by Cabinet Pass and the winding Blue Joe Creek Rd, which provide passage through the steep geography. Small alpine water bodies, including Continental Lake and Trap Lake, are situated in the high basins between Green Bonnet Mountain and other nearby summits.
