About this map

Kaniksu National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this 1967 survey, where the drainages of the Pack River and several major creeks carve through the Selkirk Mountains. The topography is dominated by massive landforms including Apache Ridge and Jeru Ridge, leading up to prominent summits like Dodge Peak and White Mtn. The network of watercourses is dense, with Fall Creek, Ruby Creek, and Deep Creek feeding the larger river systems that define the watershed.

Transportation through this wilderness at the time was limited to high-clearance routes and historic paths. Modern researchers can trace the Roman Nose Trail and various Jeep Trails that provided access for forestry and recreation. The map also captures the political boundary where Boundary County meets Bonner County, showing how this jurisdictional line follows the natural crests of the high country.
