1967 Map of North Baldy

About this map

North Baldy anchors this section of the Selkirk Mountains, where the high-altitude North Baldy Lookout Tower overlooks a landscape defined by the overlapping boundaries of the Colville National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest. The geography is characterized by a dense network of drainages, including the Middle Branch Le Clerc Cr and Fourth of July Creek, which flow from peaks such as Fourth of July Peak and Hungry Mtn. This 1967 survey, with revisions from 1986, illustrates the primary access routes through the wilderness via several Pack Trails and Jeep Trails. Local landmarks like Grouse Springs and water bodies like the Upper West Branch Priest River highlight the era's reliance on established mountain paths and fire surveillance infrastructure in Pend Oreille County.
