About this map

The Pend Oreille River bisects this landscape, creating a broad valley of wetlands and small settlements against the backdrop of the Kaniksu National Forest. The small communities of Jared and Locke sit along the riverbanks, serving as points of reference in a region defined by its timber and water resources. High points such as Ruby Mtn and Gibraltar Rock overlook the valley, while a network of forest development roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 436 and Nat For Dev Rd 70, provides access to the interior highlands.

Water is the dominant theme of this geography, with numerous small lakes and creeks feeding into the main river channel. Smaller bodies like Metcalf Lake, Brownie Lake, and Lake Lucerne are scattered throughout the lower elevations, while Cee Cee Ah Creek and Tacoma Creek flow down from the surrounding slopes. The presence of a Farm Service Agency Interest of Washington tract in the southern portion of the quadrangle indicates managed agricultural or conservation activity within the larger forest landscape.
