About this map

Mt Spokane State Park anchors this terrain-dominated map of the Selkirk Mountains, where dramatic elevations define the local geography at the start of the twenty-first century. The landscape is punctuated by numerous summits including Mount Spokane, Beauty Mountain, and Quartz Mountain, with high-altitude points like Bald Knob and Tripps Knob offering vantage points over the surrounding drainage systems. These watersheds are carved by creeks such as Blanchard Creek in the north and the upper reaches of Deadman Creek and Brickel Creek further south.

Evidence of recreational and seasonal use appears through landmarks like Cooks Cabin and Camp Fosseen. The network of forest service routes, including NFS Rd, winds through the dense contours of Shadow Mountain and Horse Mountain, illustrating how transportation in this area is dictated by the steep ascent of Linder Ridge. The map captures a high-elevation wilderness where water sources like Thompson Creek and Fish Creek begin their descent toward the valleys below.
