1996 Map of Pass Creek

About this map

Colville National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of the Selkirk Mountains, centered on the protected reaches of the Salmo-Priest Wilderness. The drainage system is dominated by the Sullivan Creek network, including the North Fork, Middle Fork, and Noisy Creek. These waters carve through a terrain defined by significant peaks such as Round Top Mountain and Grassy Top Mountain. The map illustrates the complex forest road and trail systems of the late twentieth century, including the Sullivan Lake Priest Lake route and numerous service trails like Sullivan Creek No 2. This survey documents a wilderness area largely untouched by permanent settlement, preserving the hydrological and topographical state of Pend Oreille County before the turn of the millennium.
