About this map

The Gold Mountain Ridge dominates this portion of the Colville Indian Reservation, reaching its peak at the Gold Mountain Lookout. This 1985 survey, later revised in 1993, documents a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages that flow from the high ridges toward the east and south. Significant water bodies include South Twin Lake and the smaller Little Twin Lakes in the northeastern corner, which feed into Sucker Creek.

A complex system of seasonal and perennial streams, such as Wilmont Creek, Nez Perce Cr, and Three Forks Creek, carves through the terrain, suggesting a remote area primarily managed for its natural resources and timber. Landmarks like Bear Hide Gap and the transition across various townships, including the boundary between T32N and T31N, provide essential points of reference for navigating this high-elevation environment within Ferry County.
