2020 Map of Orwig Hump

About this map

Kaniksu National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape along the border of Idaho and Washington, where the Pend Oreille and Bonner county lines meet. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent summits, including Orwig Hump, Tillicum Peak, and Diamond Peak, which overlook a network of hydrologic features such as Huff Lake and Petit Lake. The map reveals a sophisticated forest management and access system, indicated by numerous specialized roads like the Nordman Metaline and various National Forest Development routes. High-elevation openings like Sema Meadows and Mountain Meadows interrupt the dense timber, providing distinct landmarks for navigation. This 2020 survey documents the intersection of modern forestry infrastructure with the ancient drainage patterns of Tillicum Creek and the N Fork Granite Cr.
