1992 Map of Gypsy Peak

About this map

Lead Hill and its namesake Lead Hill Mine define the industrial history of this high-altitude corner of the Colville National Forest. Situated against the international border with Canada, the landscape is dominated by the steep terrain of Gypsy Ridge and Salmo Priest Ridge. This area, updated in the early 1990s, reveals the complex drainage systems of the Salmo-Priest Wilderness, where Slate Creek and Sullivan Creek carve deep valleys through the mountains. For those interested in the remote geography of the Pacific Northwest, the map details isolated features such as Gypsy Lakes and Watch Lake, providing a precise record of the trails and peaks, including the 7,309-foot Gypsy Peak, before the turn of the century.
