2023 Map of Monumental Mountain

About this map

Kaniksu National Forest and Colville National Forest meet in this high-elevation landscape of the Selkirk Mountains. The topography is defined by prominent peaks including Monumental Mtn, Molybdenite Mtn, and Tillicum Peak, creating a complex watershed for numerous creeks like Harvey Creek and South Fork Granite Creek. The area’s hydrological character is further highlighted by Bunchgrass Lake and the adjacent Bunchgrass Meadow. The mapping reveals a network of recreational and access paths, such as the Tillicum Peak Trl and the Sema Creek Trl, which navigate the steep drainage divides. This 2023 survey documents the modern management boundaries of the Pacific Northwest's protected forest lands, showing the intersection of several townships including t37n r44e and t38n r45e. It remains a remote section of Pend Oreille County characterized by drainage systems like the West Branch Le Clerc Creek and high-altitude landmarks like Kalispell Rock.
