2020 Map of Mount Kit Carson

About this map

Mt Kit Carson and Day Mtn dominate the eastern reaches of this Spokane County landscape, where the terrain transitions into the high ridges and summits of the Selkirk Mountains. The map reveals a complex network of fire roads and recreational routes, including the Upper Kit Carson Loop Road and several segments named for local figures like Jessie Smith. In the southwestern corner, Big Meadows provides a distinct break in the elevation, served by a grid of rural roads such as E Emery Rd and N Darnell Rd. The drainage pattern is defined by numerous seasonal and year-round watercourses like N Fork Little Deep Cr and the curiously named Burping Brook, which carve through the high ground at Smith Gap and Hells Hole. This 2020 survey documents the intersection of public land management and rural development as it existed at the start of the decade.
