2020 Map of Gold Mountain

About this map

Gold Mtn and the adjacent Gold Mtn Ridge dominate the central landscape of this Ferry County region, marking a terrain defined by high ridges and a dense network of mountain drainages. The area is part of a complex hydrologic system where Wilmont Cr and its tributaries, including Little Wilmont Cr and Three Forks Cr, carve through the upland country. To the north, the presence of South Twin Lake and the Little Twin Lakes suggests a transition toward the lake-rich topography characteristic of the Colville Indian Reservation area. The road system, comprised of routes like Wilmont Creek RD and the Twin Lakes - Nez Perce RD, follows the natural contours of the valleys, illustrating how transportation in this part of Washington is dictated by the steep mountain passes and gaps, such as Bear Hide Gap.
