About this map

Monumental Mountain dominates this portion of Pend Oreille County, where a complex network of high-elevation drainages feeds into larger regional watersheds. The landscape is defined by its verticality, with the South Fork Lookout and South Fork Mountain providing prominent vantage points over the surrounding timberlands. Water systems are central to the geography here, including the headwaters of the Middle Branch Le Clerc Creek and the West Branch Le Clerc Creek, which carve distinct paths through the terrain.

Smaller natural basins like Bunchgrass Lake and the adjacent Bunchgrass Meadow offer specific ecological niches amidst the steeper slopes of Tillicum Peak and Kalispell Rock. The mapping of these remote features, alongside the meandering courses of Harvey Creek and South Fork Granite Creek, provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns and landforms in this part of Washington just after the turn of the 21st century.
