About this map

The Salmo-Priest Wilderness and the Colville National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape along the Washington and Idaho border. The terrain is defined by a dense network of forest trails and prominent peaks, including Helmer Mtn, Mankato Mtn, and Jackson Mtn. The watershed is particularly intricate, featuring the dramatic Packrat Gorge and numerous water features such as LaSota Falls, Granite Falls, and Playa Lake.

Historically significant for its passage through the mountains, the map reveals the convergence of several major ridgeline paths like the Shedroof Divide Trl and specialized forest routes such as the Granite-Roosevelt Cedar Grove Trl. The small settlement of Boulder Meadows sits near the eastern boundary, providing a rare point of human habitation in a region otherwise dedicated to timber and wilderness management.
