2017 Map of Mica Peak

About this map

Mica Peak and the high ridges of the Selkirk foothills dominate this landscape along the border of Washington and Idaho. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Saltese Flats and Saltese Reservoir in the northwest to the prominent heights of Round Mtn and Cable Peak. This area is defined by its drainage network, with numerous named waterways including Quinnamose Cr, California Cr, and Mica Cr carving through the slopes. Local history is anchored by the presence of both the Mica Creek Cem and Mica Peak Cem, while the Mica Peak Radar Site Rd points to the strategic utility of the mountain's summit. The boundary between Spokane County and Kootenai County runs through these summits, marking a clear divide between the agricultural valleys and the elevated timberlands of the Panhandle region.
