About this map

Kaniksu National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape along the border of Idaho and Washington. The terrain is characterized by prominent ridges and watercourses, anchored by Pelke Divide and peaks such as Galena Point and Goose Creek Point. This area serves as a vital watershed for the Upper W Br Priest River and numerous tributaries like Goose Cr and Blickensderfer Cr.

The map reveals an extensive network of Forest Service roads, such as Squaw Valley Rd and Boswell Kings Lake Rd, which provide access through the dense timber of Squaw Valley and Big Meadows. These routes follow the natural contours of the land, reflecting the 21st-century management of public lands for resource protection and recreational access. Small topographical features like Mill Point and Tola Point mark the transition between Bonner County, Idaho, and Pend Oreille County, Washington.
