About this map

Mt Kit Carson and Mt Spokane State Park dominate this 2014 survey of the highlands northeast of Spokane. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Day Mtn, Beauty Mtn, and the distinctive Blanchard Hump in the northern reaches. This terrain creates a complex watershed where numerous streams, such as Blanchard Cr and Little Deer Cr, descend through steep drainages like Hells Hole.

Human activity is concentrated along the lower elevations and western edges, marked by settlements like Big Meadows and the Mount Saint Charles Ranch. The road network, including E Blanchard Rd and N Jackson Rd, reflects the difficulty of the terrain, often following the contours of Missouri Ridge and Hay Ridge. These routes provide access to the protected parklands and private holdings that characterize this portion of the Selkirk Mountains.
