2023 Map of Gold Mountain

About this map

Gold Mountain and the high spine of Gold Mountain Ridge dominate this interior landscape of Ferry County. The area is defined by a dense drainage network where Wilmont Creek and Three Forks Creek carve through the terrain, joined by smaller tributaries like Fay Creek and Gallear Creek. In the northeastern corner, the South Twin Lake Reservoir and Little Twin Lakes represent the primary water storage features, with Bear Hide Gap marking a notable natural pass in the topography. A series of Bureau of Indian Affairs and local roads, such as Wilmont Creek Twin Lakes Rd and the Twin Lakes - Nez Perce Rd, provide the only access through these highlands. The map shows a landscape largely shaped by its hydrology and relief, with various creek branches like Nez Perce Creek and Rock Creek creating a complex web of valleys beneath the primary ridges.
