About this map

Colville National Forest dominates this section of the Kettle River Range in Ferry County, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines. The Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds through the western half of the terrain, crossing near the summit of Copper Butte and continuing south toward Sherman Pass. The presence of the Old Stage road and several Forest Service development routes indicates the historical importance of transit and timber management in this upland environment.

A network of drainage systems, including the N Fork Sanpoil River and Deadman Cr, flows from the high divides of Wapaloosie Mtn and Scar Mtn. These watercourses reveal the complex topography that historically influenced movement between the Sanpoil and Kettle River valleys. The map also identifies several mountain summits like Lambert Mtn and Albion Hill, providing a clear record of the geographic nomenclature used by the Forest Service and Geological Survey in the early 21st century.
