2014 Map of Jared

About this map

The Pend Oreille River anchors this 2014 survey of the Selkirk Mountains foothills, flowing northward through a valley defined by the Kanisku National Forest. Small settlements like Jared and Locke sit along the river's western bank, connected by the corridor of Wa-20. The landscape is a complex network of hydrological features, from the high mountain waters of Babbitz Lake near Babbitz Landing to the collection of smaller basins like Metcalf Lake, Lake Lucerne, and Brownie Lake. Numerous drainages including Cee Cee Ah Creek, Tacoma Creek, and Cusick Cr descend from the surrounding peaks toward the river valley. Prominent landmarks such as Gibraltar Rock and Sullivan Point provide clear orientation points for those studying the topography of this corner of Washington, where timber management and river geography have long dictated the pattern of local life.
