About this map

Colville National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest converge in this 1967 survey of the Selkirk Mountains region. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Hall Mountain and Grassy Top Mtn, where numerous drainage systems such as Sullivan Creek and Harvey Creek carve through the steep terrain. Evidence of wilderness occupation and utility is found in the Last Chance Cabin and an isolated Mine located near Totem Creek, indicating the persistent mineral interests and seasonal forestry work in this corner of the state.

Recreational sites like Sullivan Creek Campground No 2 and Sullivan Creek Campground No 3 are situated along the creek beds, connected by a network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails. These routes, including the one through Pass Creek Pass, suggest the primitive infrastructure used by foresters and hunters before more modern road networks reached these high-altitude gulches like Thor Gulch and Conto Gulch.
