1967 Map of Gypsy Peak

About this map

Gypsy Ridge and the high summit of Gypsy Peak define this remote section of the Colville National Forest at the northern edge of the Selkirk Mountains. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map documents a landscape of high-altitude resource extraction and fire surveillance along the United States Canada border. The Lead Hill Mine and scattered Prospects near Lead Hill point to the area's mineral interest, while the Lookout Tower Sullivan Mtn atop Sullivan Mtn represents the era's fire lookout network overseeing the drainage basins of Slate Creek and North Fork Sullivan Creek. A network of high-country routes including the Jeep Trail and Pack Trail provide the primary access to isolated landmarks like Bear Pasture and the Gypsy Lakes.
