About this map

The high ridges and mineral prospects of northeastern Washington meet the international boundary in this detailed study of the upper Pend Oreille Co panhandle. The map captures the meeting point of British Columbia and Washington, where the steep terrain of Gypsy Ridge and Salmo-Priest Ridge rises toward the summit of Gypsy Peak. Industry and recreation overlap here, with the Lead Hill Mine and various Prospects located on the slopes of Lead Hill, a reflection of the region's mining heritage in the Metaline district.

Remote waters like Watch Lake and Gypsy Lakes drain into a network of alpine streams, including the South Fork Slate Creek and Sullivan Creek. High-elevation landmarks such as the Lookout Tower Sullivan Mtn on Sullivan Mtn and the grassy openings at Bear Pasture are connected by the Sullivan Creek Trail, showing the primitive infrastructure within the Salmo-Priest Wilderness and Colville National Forest.
