About this map

Colville National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest dominate this northeastern corner of Washington, where the high ridges of the Selkirk Mountains meet complex drainage systems. The landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, anchored by peaks like Molybdentite Mountain and Monumental Mountain. A rare ecological feature, Bunchgrass Meadows, occupies a high-elevation basin, serving as a critical water source for the surrounding wilderness.

Stream networks are intricately detailed, showing the headwaters of the West Branch Le Clerc Creek, Middle Fork Le Clerc Creek, and South Fork Le Clerc Creek as they descend toward the Pend Oreille River valley. Further east, Granite Creek and Oneta Creek carve deep through the terrain near Tillicum Peak. This 1996 revision provides an essential record of forest management boundaries and natural landmarks, including the prominent Kalispell Rock and the strictly surveyed Ninth Standard Parallel North line.
