About this map

Forty Nine Degrees North Ski Area anchors the southern slopes of Chewelah Mountain, marking a significant recreational landscape in the Selkirk Mountains of Stevens County. This high-altitude terrain is characterized by a complex network of drainage basins, where the headwaters of South Fork Chewelah Creek, Sixmile Creek, and Little Calispell Creek carve through the ridgelines. Family names are etched into the geography through several high-mountain meadows, including Bell Meadow, Dahlstrom Meadow, and Bisbee Meadow, suggesting a history of high-country grazing or early homesteading.

The northern portion of the map is dominated by the twin summits of Johnson Mountain and Wilson Mountain, with Johnson Lake situated just below the peaks. Forest service and local roads like Cottonwood Divide Rd and Horseshoe Lake Rd provide access to these remote reaches. The map also documents specific water sources vital for the region, such as McPherson Spring and Lookout Spring, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the Colville National Forest area as it existed in 2011.
