1996 Map of North Baldy

About this map

North Baldy dominates the landscape of this Pend Oreille County survey, marking a high point in the high-elevation divide between the Selkirk Mountains and the Priest River drainage. This terrain is defined by the complex borders of the Colville National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest, where land management responsibilities intersect across the ridgelines. Deep drainage networks like the Middle Fork Mill Creek and Pepin West Branch Priest River carve out the topography, indicating a landscape heavily utilized for forestry and watershed protection during the late twentieth century.
