2014 Map of Independent Mountain OE N

About this map

The international border between the Canada / United States of America defines the northern extent of this 2014 survey. Located at the northern edge of Washington state within Ferry Co, the map focuses on the drainage patterns and hydrography of the region. While topography is not present due to accuracy requirements of the era, the map provides a clear record of the hydrographic network feeding south from the Canadian border. The stark delineation of the boundary line illustrates the geopolitical divide in this remote corridor, where the natural landscape of the Pacific Northwest is segmented by the 49th parallel. This specific data release by the U.S. Geological Survey serves as a precise documentation of the international line and the primary watercourses of the northern Ferry County region.
