About this map

Colville National Forest dominates this section of the Selkirk Mountains, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and prominent peaks. The eastern edge of the quadrangle follows the Aladdin Rd corridor along Aladdin Marble Creek, while the western slopes are carved by Indian Creek and Gillette Creek. This area of Stevens County shows the remnants of earlier activity at Old Douglas and Comstock, likely tied to the mining and timber history of the region.

High-altitude landmarks such as Gillette Mtn, Onion Mtn, and Mt Rogers provide significant vertical relief, punctuated by topographical features like Jumpoff Joe Bluff and Binger Canyon. The mapping of the Gillette Ridge Trl and various forest roads like Co RD 9425 illustrates the modern access routes through these traditional hunting and logging grounds. North of Churchill Ridge, the terrain opens into Howard Meadows, offering a rare break in the heavily forested ridges.
