2020 Map of La Fleur Lake

About this map

Colville National Forest dominates this landscape in northern Washington, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and high meadows. Tungsten Mtn and Onion Ridge overlook a network of seasonal drainages and small lakes, including La Fleur Lake and Lake Ellen. The naming conventions throughout the area, such as Peppermint Meadows, Finley Meadows, and LaFleur Meadows, suggest a history of seasonal grazing or early homesteading within these high-elevation clearings. Access to these remote sections of Ferry County is provided by a system of Forest Service and county roads, such as Elbow Lake Rd and CO Hwy 99, which follow the natural contours of the canyons. The presence of Butterfly Canyon and Chipmunk Canyon further illustrates the varied topography of this heavily forested region.
