2023 Map of Gypsy Peak

About this map

Gypsy Peak stands as the central high point of this northern Washington landscape, situated along the international boundary with Canada. This 2023 survey documents the high-altitude terrain within the Colville National Forest and the Salmo-Priest Wilderness, where a dense network of mountain streams like Slate Creek and Gypsy Creek drain the surrounding ridges. The map emphasizes long-distance trail connectivity, featuring segments of the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trl alongside the Crowell Ridge Trl and Slate Creek Trl. These routes navigate a landscape defined by significant landmarks such as Bear Pasture, Lead Hill, and Boundary Mtn. The hydrology of the region is notably captured through the inclusion of remote alpine water bodies including the Gypsy Lakes and Watch Lake, providing essential detail for those studying the drainage patterns of Pend Oreille County.
