About this map

Mt Roothaan and the iconic Chimney Rock dominate this high-elevation terrain within the Kaniksu National Forest, where the landscape is defined by dramatic ridgelines and isolated alpine basins. The area serves as a significant watershed for the Pack River system, with drainage provided by the W Br Pack River and numerous tributaries such as Hunt Cr and Soldier Cr. Small glacial tarns including Hunt Lake, Fault Lake, and McCormick Lake are tucked beneath peaks like Hunt Peak, illustrating the post-glacial character of the Selkirk Mountains.

Lower elevations reveal open spaces like Camels Prairie and Jeru Park, which contrast with the steep gradients of Horton Ridge and McCormick Ridge. Evidence of forest management and access is visible through the Natl Forest Develop Road 293 Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 2607 Rd, which wind through the southeastern corner toward Jeru Ridge. This 2020 update provides a precise look at the hydrology and topography of the Boundary County line area.
